Keely and His Discoveries is a biographical work written by Clara Bloomfield Moore that explores the life and work of John Ernst Worrell Keely, an American inventor and researcher who claimed to have discovered a new form of energy that he called sympathetic vibration. The book delves into Keely's childhood, his early experiments with sound and vibration, and his development of a machine that he claimed could produce unlimited amounts of energy. Moore also examines the controversy surrounding Keely's work, including accusations of fraud and the skepticism of the scientific community. The book provides a fascinating look at a little-known figure in American history and his contributions to the field of energy research.1893. In 1874, John Ernst Worrell Keely demonstrated a mysterious force to a group of businessmen. His demonstration was so compelling that they launched the Keely Motor Company. Keely's inventions were widely regarded, but investors wanted profits, which were not forthcoming. The shareholders sued and Keely was sent to jail. Enter Mrs. Moore, a poet, novelist and philanthropist, who became Keely's champion. Her book is the only complete account of Keely's work and theories and it includes his description of his discoveries and the hypotheses involved.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
