What happened to his work?
On moving it to Boston, the man never successfully operated it which
caused him to denounce Keely as a fraud.
Many of Keelys papers were given to a Count Von Rosen of Scotland
these papers were taken to Stockholm in 1912 and have been
unaccounted for since.
Scientific American dismantled the walls and floor of Keely's lab
and found a large tank in the basement.
Leading from the tank into the walls were a multitude of tubes which
led them to proclaim fraud on the basis that Keely "must have used"
compressed air to power his equipment.
A Report on some of Keely's Work
The practical dissociation of the water molecule on either one or
more levels of aggregation would yield anything from a taffy-like
substance to an electrical type force. Each of these products had
different properties and released progressively more energy as the
aggregate level size decreased.
Keely states in the Bloomfield-Moore that the water molecule could
be dissociated on 620, 630 or 12000 cycles per second. Interestingly
enough, our friend Dr. Andrija Puharich developed a device for de-gassing
blood which he later adapted to the hydrolizying of water. This device
is patented and runs on 600 cycles per second, amazingly close to the
number Keely gives.
The Aetheric Motor was designed to tap the flow of aetheric force
which flow the Neutral Centre of all mass. Keely designed a special
motor to take advantage of this flow. As far as we can tell, it seems to
have used a "rotating sonic field" to drive the shaft. This is directly
analogous to the work of Nikola Tesla and his discovery of the "rotating
magnetic field".
We have wondered if Keely and Tesla ever met. Tesla worked with
brute force technologies when compared with the sensitized equipment of
Keely. That is a major reason why none of Keelys instruments would work
unless he was present. The orders of vibration required to produce the
effects Keely generated were so delicate (due to the exquisite
construction and limited amplitudes of the devices) that the least
distortion would cancel the effect.
Tesla designed and used electrical devices which could be used by
anyone, whereas Keely devices had to be fully understood and handled
with the greatest care.
Today, things are radically different with the level of technology
we have, the duplication of the Keely phenomena is held back only by two
factors, money and time. Another intention of this manuscript is to
illuminate the field so that others can contribute and possibly help to
re-discover the principles that died with Keely.
The construction of the Aetheric Motor involved the use of
"vitalized disks" which were mounted on arms attached to a rotatable
shaft. When the correct order of vibration was achieved, the "vitalized
disks" would be repelled from each other in a manner which would cause
the shaft to rotate. Reports indicate that the shaft could rotate up to
110 RPM and with an incredible torque. This device went through hundreds
of modifications and rebuilds in an attempt to correct what Keely termed
"reversions". A reversion ocs when a motor running properly and in
the correct direction suddenly reverses its' direction. This causes
havoc with the motor shaft and any attached devices.
Keely never overcame this problem to a point which would allow its
release to the public until the late 1800's. By that time, Keely had
discovered a far superior method of generating and applying force. The
stockholders of the Keely Motor Company, who had invested in the original
Keely Motor Company, took legal action against Keely to recover some of
their losses. When the judge ordered Keely to bring his devices to court
for the purpose of revealing his secrets, Keely smashed them with a
sledge hammer in an eccentric fit.
Some of Keely's experiments are still with us in annotated versions.
One of which is the Mineral Disintegrator. The principle behind the
Mineral Disintegrator accidentally discovered while carrying out a
series of experiments with what Keely termed the Vibratory Lift. A large
block of quartz was being used as a weight and connected with the Lift.
When a specific order of vibration was achieved, the quartz block
suffered partial disintegration. Keely managed to duplicate the effect
and built a machine specifically for that purpose. This was one of the
devices destroyed in his fit of pique.
In his work with acoustics, Keely found it necessary to design his
own analytical equipment. This also meant the construction of platforms
and tables capable of suppressing extraneous vibrations which could upset
his experiments. Eventually, to gain a more detailed understanding of
the true structure of molecular and atomic interstices, Keely built a
microscope. This was no ordinary microscope however, it consisted of a
lens with a built-in silver, gold and platinum wire. When properly
excited, it yielded direct optical viewing into the heart of matter by
projecting the image onto a wall for detailed study of the moving
particles.
A normal microscope ranges anywhere from 200 to 2000 times. The
famous Rife optical microscope could magnify up to 17,000 times. Modern
electron microscopes, which do not use optical viewing, can magnify up to
350,000 times while a field ion microscope can magnify up to 5 million
times. As you can see, Keely was and is far ahead of our most advanced
technology. This is another device destroyed during the litigation.
In the latter part of his researches, from about 1880 to his death,
Keely devoted most of his time to the perfecting of his Aerial Navigation
System. This was based on an accidental discovery which brought about
the levitation of a test mass. Again, Keely successfully analyzed and
duplicated the feat.
The original version of the book "Keelys Experiments" has a subtitle
of "Aerial Navigation". It is most curious that the mysterious Keely
Airship is not shown nor described in this book. Due to a very
knowledgable and sharing man, Mr. Victor Hansen, we were allowed to
photocopy a drawing of the airship and the description of its operation.
It appears that sometime after the publication of the Bloomfield-
Moore book, many copies were removed from the market and edited. We know
for a certaitly that the section with the Aiship picture and its
description were removed. We do not at present know if other information
was removed. It seems that some pe or group has deemed the Keely
work dangerous to mankind or has some nefarious purpose behind this
action.
One of the Keely's initial levitation experiments involved a glass
jar of water in which a metal weight was placed. Fastened to the top of
the jar was a metal plate which had attached to it, a silver and platinum
wire leading to the source of vibration.
After Keely tuned the vibrator to the test weight at the bottom of
the tank of water, it was caused to vibrate. The weight floated from the
bottom of the tank to the bottom of the plate attached to the jar. This
was definitely NOT Archimedes' (pressure buoyancy) Principle.
Another similar experiment involved the use of 3 different sizes of
spheres. The vibrator was tuned to a single sphere. When the vibrations
ensued, the onsphere which rose in the water was the one to which the
resonator had been tuned. Keely could demonstrate this principle on any
of the 3 different sized spheres. Witnesses report that he could make
any sphere rise halfway and stop, go completely to the top or descend,
all under his control.
The famous psychic, Edgar Cayce gave many readings which dealt with
vibration and the use of the Creative Forces. In one such reading, Edgar
Cayce says,
If you have ever watched, "In Search Of:", you might recall the
story of Edward Leedskalnin of Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida. I
flew there to see thetructure and it is most interesting. Mr.
Leedskalnin claimed he had discovered the secret of the Egyptians and
their pyramid building. People claimed Ed sang to the stones to cause
them to move, though no one claims to have actually seen him do this.
We have done quite a study on both organic and inorganic levitation.
This information will be available in the complete edition of this work
which should be available in November of this year. It will include many
other histories and correlative studies. The order form is in the rear
of this book.
Another of Keelys levitation experiments involved the use of a model
airship. He reportedly caused the airship to ascend, hover or descend
"as lias thistledown" when attached to a silver and platinum wire
which was connected to a properly tuned vibrator.<
By far, the most exhilarating account is of the levitation of a
steam engine weighing about one ton. Keely attached a belt around his
waist which had a silver and platinum wire leading from it. He wrapped
the wire around the engine, stepped back and struck the pre-set
vibrators. The engine floated in the air while Keely moved it to the
desired location. There were reportedly more than 20 witnesses.
Later, an engineer was consulted about the best means of moving the
steam engine. His response was to remove the roof of the building so a
derrick could be used to hoist the engine to the proper location. He did
not believe that the engine had been easily moved earlier.
Another account involves the mysterious three ton sphere, fully four
feet in diametwhich Scientific American discovered under the floor of
Keely's lab after his death. The sphere weighed in the neiborhood of
6500 pounds and was estimated to have a bursting strength of 28,000 psi.
The assertions were that he used compressed air which would "obviously"
be stored in this container. (source - Dan A. Davidson)
What the Scientific American people did not look into, were the
numerous newspaper and magazines articles written about Keely during his
lifetime. One such article refers to a visit by a reporter to Keely's
lab. In the article, the reporter says that he found Keely removing a
section of flooring to make a large hole. As the reporter watched, Mr.
Keely placed a strange belt with numerous attached mechanisms around his
waist. Keely then attached a thin wire from the belt to the sphere which
rested in the corner of the laboratory.
Mr. Keely then proceeded to concentrate while staring intently at
theere. Moments later and the iron sphere rose in the air and
"floated" while under the gaze of Keely. As Keely shifted his stare, the
sphere floated over to and above the hole in the lab floor. As Keely
relaxed his concentration, the sphere settled to the ground below the
floor level. Keely then made slight adjustments to the belt mechanism
and once again stared intently at the resting sphere. Again, the intense
concentration directed his will toward the sphere. The sphere slowly
sank into to ground as its weight was magnified through the concentrated
and directed will of Keely.
The reporter was told by Keely that he simply was making room in the
lab by clearing away some outmoded equipment. The true use of the sphere
was as s reservoir for the etheric vapor which Keely's early experiments
released from dissociation of the water molecule. As his experiments
continually led him to more sophisticated controls, he found that the
Aether could be conducted through the differentiated wires as mentioned
earlier in this paper.

Who was John W. Keely?
John Keely was an independent researcher specializing in the
properties of sound during the mid to late 1800's.
He was purported to have discovered techniques based on incredibly
sensitive vibratory mechanisms which would allow
the use of the Aether for practical purposes.
1) a machine to split the water molecule for the
instantaneous release of tremendous pressures
On his death in 1898 of pneumonia, a Boston businessman purchased
the bulk of equipment.
Keely persevered in his researches, ever driven
by observations of new phenomena. In the process, Keely was analyzing
and measuring the frequencies and conditions under which each new event
took place using analytical and test equipment of his own design. From
these, it reported that many fine drawings and charts were drawn to
illustrate the processes and laws governing his investigations into
Sympathetic Vibratory Physics.
"Stone floats in air as iron floats in water."
This is a direct reference to the prophet Elisha and his causing an
iron axehead to rise from the bottom of the river Jordan to the surface.
