Who was John W. Keely?

John Keely was an independent researcher specializing in the properties of sound during the mid to late1800'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.

What devices did he build?

1 a machine to split the water molecule for the instantaneous release of tremendous pressures

2 an engine which was reportedly driven by the flow of Aether into its components

3 designed and built a mineral disintegrator

4 an acoustic microscope capable of viewing into the molecular and atomic interstices of matter

5 a globe which could be made to rotate with no outside source of power as a demonstration of the Aetheric flows into matter

6 a belt device which enabled the operator to induce levitation or gravity in a test mass

What happened to his work?

On his death in 1898 of pneumonia, a Boston businessman purchased the bulk of equipment. 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 amultitude 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

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.

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 toilluminate the field so that others can contribute and possibly help to re-discover the principles that diedwith 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 occurs 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. Thestockholders 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 hammerin 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, canmagnify 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 "Keely's 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 knowledgeable 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 certainty that the section with the Airship 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 asingle sphere. When the vibrations ensued, the one sphere which rose in the water was the one to whichthe 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 topor 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,

"Stone floats in air as iron floats in water."

This is a direct reference to the prophet Elisha and his causing an iron axe head to rise from the bottom of the river Jordan to the surface.

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 availablein 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 Keely's levitation experiments involved the use of a model airship. He reportedly caused theairship to ascend, hover or descend "as light as 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 toremove 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 diameter which Scientific American discovered under the floor of Keely's lab after his death. The sphere weighed in the neighborhood 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'slab. 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 there. Moments later and the iron sphere rose in the air and "floated" while under the gaze of Keely. As Keely shifted his stare, the spherefloated 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.
