Keely and His Discoveries is a biography of John Ernst Worrell Keely, an American inventor who claimed to have discovered a new form of energy that could revolutionize the world. Written by Clara Bloomfield Moore, the book explores Keely's life and work, from his early experiments with sound and vibration to his later attempts to harness the power of sympathetic vibration to create machines that could run on nothing more than air and water. Along the way, Moore examines Keely's theories and methods, as well as the controversies and scandals that surrounded him. Despite the skepticism of many of his contemporaries, Keely's work attracted a devoted following, and his legacy continues to intrigue and inspire scientists and inventors to this day.1893.

Enter Mrs. Moore, a poet, novelist and philanthropist, who became Keely's champion.
