"Mass is an accumulation of the universal constant of energy into higher potential. The greater the mass the greater the potential. Mass accumulates inductively along the centripetal lines of closing spirals, and is rotated by the impact of genero-active force. Mass dissipates conductively along centrifugal lines of opening spirals, and is rotated by the expulsion of radio-active force. These opposite forces are the cause of rotation of mass."

- Anatomy of Rotation
1) Dissipation (exhaustion) is when contractive forces
convert/transmute to
expansive forces and dissipate.
2) Therefore rotation must be an antagonism between two or more
contracting forces before Voiding and dissipation. It is a no brainer
Syntropic Forces are two or more streams coming together and not one
assimilating stream or current.
3) Therefore Keely's assertion rotation is caused by antagonism between
the harmonic current of the harmonic stream and harmonic current of the
enharmonic stream bears out.

"It will, therefore, be seen that motion, which is the expression of force, cannot take the route of the shortest distance between two points because of the deflection of resistance. It must always take a curved route, its curvature always determined by the density of the intervening potential. The greater the density of matter the greater it resists penetration by any material body, therefore the greater the curvature of deflection. It should also be plainly seen that the tangential pull of generative force acts as a brake to decelerate rotation, while the thrust of radiation acts as a force to accelerate it."

Conventional science and engineering assumes erroneously that all vibrations and oscillations from 1 to beyond light are all the same. Of course this is not correct as sound does not create the same effects as say ultra-violet ray vibrations. Keely was able to leave us a classification hidden in his Forty Laws. This classification shows three main subdivisions of oscillation from 1) 1 to 20 octaves where sound predominates in its three forms and 2) from the 21 to 41 octave sound and thermal effects occur wherein for instance would be found ultrasound, radio and microwave phenomena and 3) from the 42 to the 62 octaves which include frequency ranges of low infra-red to visible light and chemical ray vibrations to low Cosmic rays. Of course, there remain the octaves above 63.

Keely’s Original Dynaspheric Neutral Center Concept
- "In the conception of any machine heretofore constructed, the medium
for inducing a neutral centre has never be found. If it had, the
difficulties of perpetual motion seekers would have ended, and this
problem would have become an established and operating fact. It would
only require an introductory impulse of a few pounds, on such a device,
to cause it to run for centuries. In the conception of my vibratory
engine, I did not seek to attain perpetual motion; but a circuit is
formed that actually has a neutral centre, which is in a condition to
be vivified by my vibratory ether, and while under operation, by said
substance, is really a machine that is virtually independent of the
mass (or globe), and it is the wonderful velocity of the vibratory
circuit which makes it so. Still, with all its perfection, it requires
to be fed with the vibratory ether to make it an independent motor. . .
." [Keely, Keely
and His Discoveries, Chapter 8, Part 2, "More Science"] See 13.37 and 13.38
for more on the Operation of
the Vibratory Circuit.

Figure 13.09 - Primary Emanations from within Dynaspheres
"Let us talk about the nature of that construct. We have lines of transit of the forces going in and out that create acceleration of etheric dynamics. Included in the list are: nodal frequency acceleration of the time/space dimensional fabric of the Universe shifting toward the key range that supports Harmony. The Harmony referred to includes advancement toward enlightened coexistence with all Forces and Beings also supporting Harmony. Each contribution attracts and cohesively combines with kindred manifestations of Light in variant forms. This is the basis of "karma", gravity and evolution toward the One. Each of these represents a "rib" or line of force curved to circumscribe a torroid. Thus, each complies with and creates the natural and most efficient means of moving its evolution toward the One. The One is not a state of rest or quietude, but quite the opposite: a state of dynamic movement and orchestration. When a force field or its matrix is established in a form that naturally creates harmonics that also conform to the same configuration, even if offset in time or space, then this dynamic is created. If enough force is focalized, the fields or matrices created will be quite strong and create a stabilizing influence in surrounding conditions. This is true of thought patterns, consciousness evolution, etheric communication, etheric work, and gravity.” [Message through Dawn Stranges]
Notice in the above reference to "Etheric Implosion". In thinking this through one can see there is a tremendous difference between molecular, atomic and etheric implosions. Etheric would be the Dominant and at 200,000 times the potency of molecular implosion would indeed be an awesome power. The last three sentences describe some of what is happening in the Musical Dynaspheres wherein Love is expressed so curiously that so many feel, sense and wonder about.

These are the human subjective forces/conditions alluded to in the last three sentences of 13.08. These are, in essence, egoic forces derived from the One Undifferentiated Mind state and are therefore polar, operating in duality, maya, etc. These then are the illusion of the seeming universe Russell so often refers to. It will be the letting go of these illusions that one wakes up (from the illuions to the actuality).
13.09 - Sphere
Rotated by Vibrations
notes and notations [in brackets] added 8/3/06, 8/9/06 or later. These
bracketed notations indicate points of design and construction
similarity to the current Musical Dynaspheres. See Part 19 and 20 for
greater detail concerning the Musical Dynaspheres.
"The great difficulty in constructing a sphere
that will revolve when vibrations are applied, is in equating its
interior volume, which is altered on insertion of the shaft and
accessories, with the chord of mass of the shell itself. The
differentiation induced in the interior volume must be equated so as to
harmonize with the sphere mass chord. Concordance is established
between both through certain conditions of differentiation and in
accordance with the laws of harmony."
"If the mass chord of the sphere is B flat, and
the internal parts when introduced displace the internal volume 1/20th,
this 1/20th represents an antagonistic 1/20th against the concordance
of the sphere mass and the internal parts must be so graduated as to
get at the same chord an octave or more nearest approaching the
concordance of the internal volume. No intermediates [music intervals]
between octaves would ever reach sympathetic union."
"For example, we have a spun [or hydro-formed]
shell
of 12 inches internal diameter and 1/32 inches thick [wall], having an
internal volume of 904.77 cubic inches. The resonation of the internal
volume is found to be B flat and the mass chord B natural. This, or any
other antagonistic chord between the sphere mass chord and the volume
resonance, will not interfere, as it will come under subservience."
"A steel [or bronze] shaft 1/2 [or 5/8] inch in
diameter
is now passed through the center of the shell, displacing a portion of
the volume. The volume resonance is now found to be altered so as to be
antagonistic to the mass chord. To correct this condition the shaft
must be turned or filed until the volume resonance reaches the next
lower B flat chord. In so doing we neutralize the first line of
interference and the parts are left in the same pure sympathy as at
first."
"We now introduce a ring [Inner Ring/Drum of
Resonation] of 2/3 the diameter [8 inches ID] of the sphere, fastened
by arms [disks/plates] to the axis and attach seven adjustable tube
resonators, each measuring 3 inches by 3/4 inches. Each tube is then
set on the chord of B flat by adjusting its diaphragm. [Seven B flat
resonators] This arrangement compensates for the total displacement of
the ring [Inner Ring/Drum of Resonation], tubes and arms, it not being
necessary to alter the volume on account of this second operation. This
completes the second equation of resonation and displacement."
"One end hemisphere is now painted [appropriately
treated/textured] black and the other white, and a rubber atomizer bulb
placed over the end of the shaft next to the dark hemisphere, to
prevent equation of vibrational energy [depolarize] by molecular
bombardment when the antagonistic vibrations are transmitted."
"All hollow spheres of certain diameters are
resonant to the enharmonic [minor third?] and diatonic [major?] thirds
of any and all concordant sounds [= a fifth?]. Nature, working with her
perfect form, the sphere, gives this effect, but not so with tubes. The
shortest way to pure resonance between any number of resonating mediums
is through use of the sphere."
"Only two vibratory conditions can be so
associated as to excite sympathetic affinity* [attraction] between two
physical organisms - the etheric chord of B flat, third octave - and on
etheric sympathetic transmission the chord of E flat, with 3rd
dominant, 6th enharmonic and 9th diatonic, with octave enharmonic."
"The chord of resonance of the sphere was the
sympathetic etheric chord of E flat, 3rd octave, and is highly
sensitive to concordance, against the neutral sevenths of the mass
chord, whether that concordance be physical or mechanical or the two
combined. When the chord of resonance is harmonized with the mass
chord, the highest degree of susceptiveness is manifested to negative
antagonism. Antagonistic chords actually move and accelerate the
sphere, demonstrating the perfection of Nature's laws governing the
sympathetic flow."
The dark hemisphere, which represents 50% of the
full internal area of pure concordant harmony, receives the negative
Thirds, Sixths and Ninths, the bombardment of which disturbs the
equilibrium of the sphere and induces rotation. The speed of rotation
is directly in proportion to, and controlled by, the relative volume of
the negative antagonistic chords. Even with no wire transmission of
vibrations, an ordinary mouth organ, which is constructed tuned to
thirds, will cause the sphere to slowly rotate.
The sympathetic flow is directed to the center by
the seven [B flat] resonators and is redistributed during rotation to
keep intact the sympathetic volume and thus prevents equation of forces
[depolarization], which would stop rotation. The discordant thirds are
also concentrated by the dark hemisphere on the neutral center, and the
interference at the neutral center of the concordants focalized by the
white hemisphere and the tubes, and the discordants of the dark
hemisphere, cause the inherent property of disturbance of equilibrium
in the neutral center to assert itself, causing rotation. This is
simply the effort put forth by the neutral center, controlled by the
dominant principle, causing redistribution of the chord of resonance
and avoidance of the interference nodes.
When receiving concordant sounds the sphere is
entirely quiescent, but when discordance is set up within its volume it
rejects this repulsive state or condition by rotation.
Under date of 5/20/1885 he writes of an experiment
in which he attached a safety arrangement to his Liberator, and also
his strongest resonator, and "within two minutes the shell (probably
the musical sphere) attained a rotation of 1500 times per minute. I
then retracted to the negative and brought it down to 150 revolutions
per minute, when two of my safety shells and a vibratory indicator blew
up, causing intermission."
Keely never claimed or considered this invention as
a source of power. It was constructed simply to prove his theory
regarding receptiveness of the neutral center, and through it he came
into a fuller understanding of the cause of the earth's rotation, which
he concluded arise from the conflict between the positive and negative
sympathetic streams, or solar tensions against terrestrial
condensations. " [Keely, Snell
Manuscript]
13.10 - Rotation Quotes from "Keely and His Discoveries". See sections 1.5 - 1.21 for greater detail on Keely's Triplet Morphology.
Question asked in Clerk Maxwell's memoirs: "Under
what form, right, or light, can an atom be imagined?" Keely replies,
"It eludes the grasp of the imagination, for it is the introductory
step to a conception of the eternity of the duration of matter. The
magnitude of the molecule, as compared to the inter-atom, is about on
the same ratio as a billiard ball to a grain of sand; the billiard ball
being the domain wherein the triple inter-molecules rotate, the
inter-molecules again being the field wherein the atomic triplets
sympathetically act, and again progressively, in the inter-atomic
field, the first order of the etheric triplets begins to show its
sympathetic inreach for the centres of neutral focalization. It is
impossible for the imagination to grasp such a position. Inter-atomic
subdivision comes under the order of the fifth dimensional space in
etheric condensation. Atoms and corpuscules can be represented by
degrees of progressive tenuity, as according to progressive
subdivision, but to imagine the ultimate position of the atomic alone
would be like trying to take a measurement of immeasurable space. We
often speak of the borders of infinite. No matter what the outreach may
be, nor how minute the corpuscular subdivision, we still remain on the
borders, looking over the far beyond, as one on the shore of a
boundless ocean who seeks to cross it with his gaze. Therefore,
philosophically speaking, as the atom belongs to the infinite and the
imagination to the finite, it can never be comprehended in any form or
light, nor by any right; for in the range of the imagination it is as a
bridge of mist which can never be crossed by any condition that is
associated with a visible molecular mass, that is, by mind as
associated with crude matter." [Keely
and His Discoveries]

See Part 14 for expanded
material about Keely's Triplet of Energy.
NOTE: There is considerable confusion about the terms male, female, Mother and Father. It appears these were used oppositely by Keely, Russell and this writer. Because Russell came later and his writings are more extensive we will defer to his use while at the same time limiting our use as much as possible in all cases preferring to use Syntropy and Entropy in their stead as these terms are clear and unambiguous. This to reduce confusion in an already confusing subject.

3) Moving fulcrum to either side.

13.13 - Principle of Regeneration - Less dense radiates to more dense which absorbs radiation, reverses its polarity and reradiates [it]. See 13.19.
13.14 - Principle of Reciprocity - decreases and increases occur simultaneously as two sides of a seesaw.
13.15 - Principle of Proportion - increases and decreases are in inverse or direct proportion to rate of change (delta).
Radiation from Plane of Equilibrium -00+
Degree of Concord/Discord is determinative. -00+ <--> +4+
When harmonic a larger volume -00+ condenses to smaller volume -> -11+, etc.
When enharmonic a smaller volume 4++ dissociates and expands to larger volume -> -00+, etc.
13.16 - Naturally Occuring Affinity - Low natural mutual affinity self-affinitizes with an ever accumulating rate to a mutual center (from -00+ to 4++) thus increasing density and temperature and decreasing volume and enharmonicity.
13.17 - Naturally Occuring Repulsion - This (contraction) self-focalization/affinitization will increase until discordant harmonics/overtones (secondary and tertiary) appear which self-resonate in increasing amplitude until sufficient discord appears overtaking concord. Self-destruction (radiation) of the unit is the inevitable result (from -4+ to -00+). This of course is Keely's Law of Cycles:
"Coherent aggregates harmonically united constitute centers of vibration bearing relation to the fundamental pitch not multiples of the harmonic pitch, and the production of secondary unions between themselves generate pitches that are discords, either in their unisons, or overtones with the original pitch; from harmony is generated discord, the inevitable cause of perpetual transformation."
See also Russell's Mid-Tones.
13.18 - Naturaly Occuring Reciprocity and Proportionality - Celestial/Syntropic/Vibration/Spin decreases velocity and increases power (vibration/rotation) from -00+ to 4++.
Terrestrial/Entropic/Oscillation/Orbit increases velocity and decreases power (oscillation/revolution) from -00+ to 4++.
The two above actions occur in an inverse relation to each other. One increases the other decreases much as a seesaw in motion and as the well known Square Law and its Inverse Square Law.

Principle of Regeneration
"All male actions are centripetal [syntropic, charging] and all female reactions are centrifugal [entropic, discharging].
Variance of centripetal or centrifugal force is variation of potential.
Union and reproduction are always governed by sex periodicity in electro-magnetic charge, the order of which will be written down and charted.
Consider, for example, the reproduction of the sound of the human voice echoing in the hills. Sound, like all other forms of energy, is an accumulated potential.
Release this high potential and it immediately expands.
Expansion is radiation.
Radiation is discharge of accumulated potential.
As the sound of the voice, as accumulated potential, radiates into the silence of higher octaves of lower potential, and impacts against the closely integrated high potential of the cliff side, the degenerative discharge [entropy] is reversed and becomes generative charge [syntropy].
Expanding lowering potential is reversed to contracting higher potential.
In other words, the sex opposites in the radiating sound waves are forced into closer contact by the impact, so that the wave dimensions which originally produced the sound are restored.
The counterpart of the sound as cause has been produced as a reproduced effect of that cause.
It is not the same sound, it is another sound.
It is a reproduced counterpart, a regenerated reincarnation of the state of motion which originally produced the sound.
That which is true of regeneration by echo is also true of reproduction by radio or any other similar process. All are but the reversal of radiation into regeneration by impact against the inertial planes of higher potentials.
Generation or re-generation is an effect of gravitation. An impact of radiative energy against any lower octave of integration will set up the necessary resistance to the radiative energy to regenerate it into its original form." [Russell, The Universal One, Book 1, Chapter 10]

Principle of Reciprocity - as a
decreases b
increases simultaneously and vice versa. Syntropic and Entropic wave
phases are reciprocal. 1) Mutual, correlative, correspondent,
complementary. 2) Moving alternately backward and forward. 3) Mutually
responsive, answering. 4) Inversely or responding, inverse. 5) A thing
that is reciprocal to something else; a return, an equivalent; a
counterpart; a complement; that which a given quantity is multiplied to
produce Unity.
13.21 -
Principle of Proportion
- increases and decreases are in
inverse or direct proportion to rate of change (delta). The ratio of
two numbers to each other. Proportion is in three kinds: (1) multiplex.
(2) Superparticularis. (3) Superpartiens. Proportio multiplex is when
the larger number contains the smaller so many times without a
remainder, as 2:1 (dupla), 3:1 (tripla), 4:1 (quadrupla). Proportio
superparticularis is when the larger number exceeds the smaller by one
only as 3:2 (sesquialtera), 4:3 (sesquitertia), 5:4 (sesquiquarta).
Proportio superpartiens is when the larger number exceeds the smaller
by more than one, as 5:3 (superbipartienstertias), 7:4
(supertripartiensquartas), 9:5 (superquadripartiensquintas).
Thus,
it will be understood, that instead of giving simply the ratio between
two numbers, early writers on arithmetic and geometry, as
well as
music, coined a single word to express that ratio; for
example, 17:5
was said to be Triplasuperbipartiensquintas, i.e.,
that the larger
number contained the smaller number three times (tripla) with two
remainder (bipariens). Again, Triplasupertripartiensquartas
proportio,
signified that the larger contained the smaller three times and three
over, as 15:4, 27:8, etc., the last part of the compound word always
pointing out the smaller of the numbers compared, or an exact multiple
of it. Lastly, the addition of sub showed that the smaller number was
compared to the larger, e.g., 4:15 would be called
Subtriplasupertripartiensquartas proportio. This
system of proportion
was used not only with reference to intervals but also to the
comparative length of notes (time). [A Dictionary of Musical
Terms]

Contraction / Expansion
Contraction - Assimilation/Aggregation to/about a Central

Expansion - Radiation to Plane of Equilibrium or "level

13.23 - Degree of Concord/Discord Determines
a. When syntropic or harmonic a larger volume -00+ condenses
successively to smaller volume: -11+ -> -22+ -> -33+
-> 4++.
b. When entropic or enharmonic a smaller volume 4++ expands successively to larger volume: 4++ -> -33+ -> -22+ -> -11+
a. Naturally Occuring Affinity - Low
natural mutual affinity self-affinitizes to a mutual center
(successively from -00+ to
4++).
b. Naturally Occuring Dissociation - This (contraction) self-focalization/affinitization (see a above) will increase until discordant harmonics (secondary and tertiary overtones) appear which self-resonate in increasing amplitude until sufficient discord appears overtaking concord. Self-destruction (radiation) of the unit is the inevitable result (from -44+ to -00+). This process was described in Keely's :
a. Celestial (Father/Syntropic) Vibration
decreases velocity and
increases power (vibration/rotation) from -00+ to 4++.
Celestial
Oscillation is in inverse proportion.
b. Terrestrial (Mother/Entropic) Oscillation increases velocity and decreases power (oscillation/revolution) from 4++ to -00+. Terrestrial Vibration is in inverse proportion.

Etheric Negative Attractor - The
Etheric Negative
Attractor was Keely's machine or device to create, harness and perhaps
direct Harmonic Attractive (Syntropic) Force which is a build up or
concentration of Infinite Ninths harmonic vibration (overtones). See Part 11 - SVP
Music Model.
A zone of harmonic attractive (syntropic) force will cause a
volume of a medium to collapse to a focalized center in a swirling
motion. There are localized zones established of alternating dispersive
and contractive vibration, sometimes in parallel to each other, but
generally at
right angles to centralizing motions. See top-down photos of hurricanes.

Differentiation - Differentiation is not unlike refraction
wherein a WHOLE is divided into its constituent parts; i.e.,
a rainbow,
for instance, divided into its three major divisions - viz.
- HEAT
(infrared/red), LIGHT (yellow/white) and CHEMICAL (blue/ultraviolet)
rays. [This is one of the base ideas Keely discovered in Hughes' Harmonies
of Tones and Colors
- the triple nature of a whole.]
"Differentiation, by compound negative vibration of their neutral
centres, causes antagonism, and thus the great attractive power that
aggregates them becomes one of dispersion or expansion, accompanied by
immense velocity of rotation, which carries its influence through the
whole volume of air, 230 cubic inches contained in sphere, within its
33 1/3 chord of its circle of coincidence. By this wire of platinum and
silver the current of force is now passed to run the vibratory disk,
thus altogether upsetting the "compressed air" theory of Professor
Barkes, Dr. Hall, and others of less note." [Keely, Keely

future research, if any way can be discovered for obtaining the chord
of mass of the cyclone. To differentiate the chord of its thirds would

- Polarization
1) How long polarization lasts or persists.....
2) Sounds destroy polarizations at the rate of their frequencies thus
returning to Neutrality as per those frequencies.
3) Once voiding has occurred there is no more polar tension or desire
for voiding. Polarization is lost.
4) Is there a way to produce continuous streams of HARMONIC and
ENHARMONIC polarizations???? Or a continuous condition or state of
polarization???
5) If a polarization could be established, held and amplified this
would be a source of continuous tension which would manifest as
circular motion if properly channeled. This would not be unlike the
bias or dipole created in electrical generators by its magnets.
Electricity then is nothing more than a steady state
polarization/dipole
which can be added to or divided up and used as a polar condition
within
various electrical components or devices.

Figure 13.22 - Phoenix Bird. artist, Ken Howard, Australia, 1962
The Phoenix bird is symbolic of Russell's Principle
of Regeneration:
"Generating Mass seeks higher pressure zones.
Degenerating Mass seeks lower pressure zones. Regeneration is effected
by Degenerative Impact in inertia, thus reversing sex [polarization/ddipole]."
[Russell]
"Of this more will be written when further
consideration of causes make the effects of those causes more
comprehensible.
All male actions are centripetal and all female reactions are centrifugal. Variance of centripetal or centrifugal force is variation of potential. Union and reproduction are always governed by sex periodicity in electro-magnetic charge, the order of which will be written down and charted. Consider, for example, the reproduction of the sound of the human voice echoing in the hills. Sound, like all other forms of energy, is an accumulated potential. Release this high potential and it immediately expands. Expansion is radiation. Radiation is discharge of accumulated potential. As the sound of the voice, as accumulated potential, radiates into the silence of higher octaves of lower potential, and impacts against the closely integrated high potential of the cliff side, the degenerative discharge is reversed and becomes generative charge. Expanding lowering potential is reversed to contracting higher potential. In other words, the sex opposites in the radiating sound waves are forced into closer contact by the impact, so that the wave dimensions which originally produced the sound are restored. The counterpart of the sound as cause has been produced as a reproduced effect of that cause. It is not the same sound, it is another sound. It is a reproduced counterpart, a regenerated reincarnation of the state of motion which originally produced the sound. That which is true of regeneration by echo is also true of reproduction by radio or any other similar process. All are but the reversal of radiation into regeneration by impact against the inertial planes of higher potentials. Generation or re-generation is an effect of gravitation. An impact of radiative energy against any lower octave of integration will set up the necessary resistance to the radiative energy to regenerate it into its original form."

Polarization Points
1) An homogenous gas will auto-activate into circular (gyroscopic or v
ortex)
motion when a polarization is introduced anywhere within the gas.
2) This motion will be greatest closer to the point of polarization and
diminish outward according to the Square Law thus ALWAYS resulting in a
vortex (circular) motion about that point. See Figure 13.12 showing differential
polarization zones.
3) There will be a gradient of velocity of motions between the Point of
Polarization and all other polarizing and depolar gas particles. This
gradient of velocities of motions is the actual cause of those motions.
4) In Dynaspheres some Points of Polarization are 1) the Actuators
(increased density) and 2) the White and Black sublimate coatings
(polarization).

have coined the term residual
ionisation to describe the effect of the firing of the FireStorm spark
plug. When a generic spark plug fires in a pressure chamber or your
vehicle, it will fire six to eight times and then misfire once. The
misfire is caused by the residual ionisation left around the plug
proper. When the charge comes down the centre electrode, it sees a high
impedance and cannot jump the gap, hence a misfire.
"There is also residual ionisation left over in a
FireStorm spark plug. However, because of the huge surface area in the
configuration of the domed centre electrode and the triaxial ground
system, when the residual ionisation rears its ugly head the charge
coming down the centre electrode sees it and moves to the next area
under the triaxial ground system that is residual ionisation free.
That's why the plasma appears to move around the dome in a circular
motion." [http://www.robertstanley.biz/firestorm.htm]
13.34 - Motion - "Luminiferous ether," Keely writes, "or celestial mind force, a compound inter-etheric element, is the substance of which everything visible is composed. It is the great sympathetic protoplastic element; life itself. Consequently, our physical organisms are composed of this element. This focalizing, or controlling media, of the physical, has its seat in the cerebral convolutions; from which sympathetic radiation emanates. This sympathetic outreach is mind flow proper, or will force; sympathetic polarization to produce action; sympathetic depolarization to neutralize it. Polar and depolar differentiation, resulting in motion. The true protoplastic element sympathetically permeates all forms and conditions of matter; having, for its attendants, gravity, electricity, and magnetism; the triple conditions born in itself. In fact, it is the soul of matter; the element from which all forms of motion receive their introductory impulse." [Keely and His Discoveries] bold emphasis added
13.35 - Clashing of Light & Dark - Light and Dark are two states of the Same Light.
"See the immediate center of our solar system. Thou
wouldst call it a dynamo, the great dynamo of the system. Right wouldst
thou be, and wrong also. The attempt to define the sun as an analogue
to a dynamo-electric machine has much to support it. But to define it
as identical is erroneous. The trouble with that theory is the trouble
which lies at the root of and weakens all other theories to account for
sun-heat and sunlight. It is that science does not assign a
sufficiently high value to the sun. The combustion theory is invalid;
the solar mass contradiction theory is but partially tenable and
meteoric showers do not account better than the first two. Neither does
the electric-dynamo theory. Truly, the latter explains how sun-heat and
sunlight may coexist and not be inharmonious with the awful degree of
cold between earth, the planets and the sun. It explains that which
denies the simple combustion theory so completely, viz. that the
farther one goes from the earth center, either in a balloon or on a
high mountain, the colder and colder the air gets, so that interstellar
space is several hundred degrees below zero, and black as midnight,
with the sun a luminous disc, without rays. But the dynamo theory does
not explain the solar spectrum, nor the bands of spectra, nor coronal
"flames," nor "sun spots," nor solar nor lunar eclipses."
"I have said that the value accorded by
astronomers is too small. Seeing fire, they would seek to explain by
its means the sun. Finding this untenable, and aware that a contracting
mass gives off heat, they next essay explanation on that hypothesis.
But this will not do, nor will meteoric showers, nor any hypothesis
based on facts now known, all are too low in aim; the Infinite cannot
be explained by the finite, nor will less explain greater; fire is
energy, and electricity is energy, and God is energy. But fire will not
solve the query, "What is electricity?" nor will electricity answer
"What is God?" but God will explain both the others, for the sum of the
parts is equal to the whole. But as man does not know the full number
of the parts, the partial sum he does know will not explain God."
"Nature has a dual aspect, is double, is positive
and negative; that the great positive side is the side known as mundane
science, while the other or negative, or "Night-Side," or, as it was
once known in the earth by the men of Atla (Atlantis), "Navaz," is a
side all unknown, and scarcely quested in the most exceeding flights of
speculation, left unbroached, secretly kept by a few, who know not that
they entertain an angel, an angelic wisdom that in a century more, yea,
less time! shall overturn much of the face of terrain things, shall
bestow aerial vessels, and all else once known to those men of Atl of
whom I spoke."
"The suns of systems are centers of forces of the
Night Side of Nature whereof I spoke, and are force, and matter of a
higher value than are planets and satellites, just as water above a
cataract is water, truly, but being above and mobile, flows over and
down, developing energy. In other words, out of the cold, dark,
negative side, or "Night Side," force emerges, drawn to the positive
polarity which constitutes in its outgoing flow that termed Nature, and
develops in its fall, magnetism, electricity, light, color, heat and
sound, in order of descent, and lastly solid matter, for this latter is
a child of energy, not its parent. When the Navaz forces drop to light,
if the light waves enter a spectroscope, they will emerge as colors;
these will correspond to the various spectrum bands, and will, as the
descend progresses, give the noted lines of the solar spectrum, as the
great "B" line of oxygen, the conspicuous "1474" line, and the
brilliant "H" and "K" violet bands."
"Thus the evidence of flames, and metals on fire,
and all that leads astronomers to think sun and stars flaming hells.
But their "fires" will not decrease, for the Father is immanent, and
the forces of "Navaz" are perpetually fed by Him. The graphic picture
of a burned-out sun is a dream, never to be fulfilled. A day will come
again in the earth when instruments will be made which Atlantis once
well knew, when the prismatic rays from a spectroscope will be found to
be a source of heat, and of sound, so that the so-called "flames" of
the sun, and of the stars will produce music, harmonious divine. Yea,
further, for going down, the dark green solar spectrum of iron will be
made to yield iron for use in the arts, and so with the other bands and
lines, the intense greens, blues, and blue-greens give copper, lead,
antimony and so on. It is by these Navaz currents that the circulation
in the universe is kept up, as blood in a man's arteries. The suns are
the systemic hearts. But thou art tired, my brother, or I would explain
yet more, that the planets which receive all these currents must return
their equivalent. And thus would another vast field open before thy
sight. This last would explain that which so worries science on earth,
the molten terrain interior. That also is something of an error. All
the phenomena which seem to declare the earth to be in a melted
condition inside do not prove it so in truth; all point to the return
currents, the positive; all exhibit the venous currents of our
universe, back to its hearts." [Phylos, A Dweller

VIBROPHONIC TRAJECTION TO AND FROM CENTERS OF NEUTRALITY ON REVOLVING
GLOBE
by John Worrell Keely
"All hollow spheres, of certain diameters, represent,
as per diameters, and their volumes of molecular mass, pure,
unadulterated, sympathetic resonation towards the enharmonic and
diatonic thirds of any, and in fact all, concordant sounds. In tubes it
is adversely different, requiring a definite number of them so
graduated as to represent a confliction by thirds, sixths and ninths,
as towards the harmonic scale. When the conditions are established, the
acoustic result of this combination, when focalized, represents
concordant harmony, as between the chord mass of the instrument to be
operated and the chord mass of the tubes of resonation. Therefore the
shortest way towards establishing pure concordance, between any number
of resonating mediums, is by the position that Nature herself assumes
in her multitudinous arrangements of the varied forms and volumes of
matter - the spherical. The great difficulty to overcome, in order to
get a revolution of the same sphere, exists in equating the interior
adjuncts of same. In other words, the differentiation induced must be
so equated as to harmonize and make their conditions purely concordant
to the molecular mass of the sphere. Example: Suppose the chord of the
sphere mass represents B flat, or any other chord, and the internal
adjuncts by displacement of atmospheric volume differentiates the
volume one-twentieth, this displacement in the shell's atmospheric
volume would represent an antagonistic twentieth against the shell's
mass concordance, to equate which it would be necessary to so graduate
the shell's internal adjuncts as to get at the same chord; an octave or
any number of octaves that comes nearest to the concordance of the
shell's atmospheric volume. No intermediates between the octaves would
ever reach sympathetic union.
We will now take up the mechanical
routine as associated with adjuncts of interference and follow the
system for chording the mechanical aggregation in its different parts,
in order to induce the transmissive sympathy necessary to perfect
evolution and produce revolution of the sphere or shell.
Example:
Suppose that we had just received from the machine shop a spun shell of
twelve inches internal diameter, 1/32 of an inch thick, which
represents an atmospheric volume of 904.77 cu. in. On determination by
research we find the shell to be on its resonating volume B flat, and
the molecular volume of the metal that the sphere is composed of, B
natural. This or any other antagonistic chord, as between the chord
mass of the shell and its atmospheric volume, would not interfere but
would come under subservience. We now pass a steel shaft through its
center 1/2 in. in diameter, which represents its axial rest. This shaft
subjects the atmospheric volume of the shell to a certain displacement
or reduction, to correct which we first register the chord note of its
mass, and find it to be antagonistic to the chord mass of the shell, a
certain portion of an octave. This must be corrected. The molecular
volume of the shaft must be reduced in volume, either by filing or
turning, so as to represent the first B flat chord that is reached by
such reduction. When this is done the first line of interference is
neutralized, and the condition of sympathy is as pure between the parts
as it was when the globe was minus its axis. There is now introduced on
its axis a ring which has seven tubes or graduating resonators, the
ring being 2/3 the diameter of the globe, the resonators three inches
long and 3/4 in. diameter, each one to be set on the chord of B flat,
which is done by sliding the small diaphragm in the tube to a point
that will indicate B flat. This setting then controls the metallic
displacement of the metallic combination, as also the arms necessary to
hold the ring and resonators on the shaft or axis. Thus the second
equation is established, both on resonation and displacement. We are
now ready to introduce the diatonic scale ring of three octaves which
is set at two-thirds of the scale antagonistic to the chord mass of the
globe itself. This is done by graduating every third pin of its scale
to B flat, thirds, which represent antagonistic thirds to the shell's
molecular mass. This antagonism must be thoroughly sensitive to the
chord mass of one of the hemispheres of which the globe is composed.
The axis of the scale ring must rotate loosely on the globe's shaft
without revolving with the globe itself, which it is prevented from
doing by being weighted on one side of the ring by a small hollow brass
ball, holding about two ounces of lead. The remaining work on the
device is finished by painting the interior of the globe, one
hemisphere black and one white, and attaching a rubber bulb such as is
used to spray perfume, to the hollow end of the shaft. This bulb
equates vibratory undulations, thus preventing an equation of molecular
bombardment on its dark side when sympathetically influenced. It is now
in condition to denote the sympathetic concordance between living
physical organisms, or the receptive transmittive concordance necessary
to induce rotation." [Keely, Snell
Manuscript]
13.39 - Philosophy of Transmission and Rotation of Musical Sphere
"The
only two vibratory conditions that can be so associated as to excite
high sympathetic affinity, as between two physical organisms are:
etheric chord of B flat, 3rd octave, and on etheric sympathetic chords
transmission E flat on the scale 3rd, 6ths, and 9ths, octaves harmonic,
having the 3rd dominant, the 6th enharmonic and the 9th diatonic.
The
chord mass representing the musical sphere, being sympathetic etheric
chord of B flat third octave, indicated by the focalization of its
interior mechanical combination, as against the neutral sevenths of its
atmospheric volume, makes the shell highly sensitive to the reception
of pure sympathetic concordance, whether it be physical, mechanical, or
a combination of both. Taking the chord mass of the different
mechanical parts of the sphere and its adjuncts, as previously
explained, when associated and focalized to represent pure concordance,
as between its atmospheric volume and sphere mass, which means the pure
unit of concordance, we have the highest position that can be
established in relation to its sympathetic susceptiveness to negative
antagonism. The beauty of the perfection of the laws that govern the
action of Nature's sympathetic flows is here demonstrated in all the
purity of its workings actually requiring antagonistic chords to move
and accelerate. The dark side of the shell, which represents fifty per
cent of its full area of concordant harmony, is the receptive area for
the influence of the negative transmissive chords of the thirds, sixths
and ninths to bombard upon, which bombardment disturbs the equilibrium
of said sphere, and induces rotation. The rotation can be accelerated
or retarded, according as the antagonistic chords of the acoustic
forces are transmitted in greater or lesser volume. The action induced
by the mouth organ, transmitted at a distance from the sphere without
any connection of wire, demonstrates the purity of the principle of
sympathetic transmission as negatized or disturbed by discordants,
which, focalizing on the resonating sevenths of resonators, or tubes
attached to ring, the sympathetic flow is by this means transmitted to
the focalizing center, or center of neutrality, to be redistributed at
each revolution of sphere, keeping intact the sympathetic volume during
sensitization, thus preventing the equation or stoppage of its rotation.
Again,
the sphere resting on its journals in the ring, as graduated to the
condition of its interior combinations, represents a pure sympathetic
concordant under perfect equation to receive the sympathetic, or to
reject the non-sympathetic. If a pure sympathetic chord is transmitted
coincident to its full combination, the sphere will remain quiescent,
but if a transmission of discordance is brought to bear upon it, its
sympathetic conditions become repellant to this discordance." Keely.
Hertz
conjectures that a knowledge of the structure of ether should unveil
the essence of matter itself, and of its inherent properties, weight
and inertia. Hertz constructed a circuit, whose period of vibration for
electric currents was such that he was able to see sparks due to the
increased vibration leaping across a small airspace in this resonating
circuit, his experiments have proved and demonstrated the ethereal
theory of electromagnetism; that electromagnetic actions are due to a
medium pervading all known space. Keely's experiments have proved that
all things are due to conditions of the ether. The Buddhists have
taught "There is no such thing as blind or dead matter, as there is no
blind or unconscious thought."
1890 - The steam engines of the
world now represent the work of 1,000,000,000 men, or more than double
the working population of the earth, whose total population is about
1,500,000,000 inhabitants. Steam has trebled man's working power,
enabling him to economize his physical strength. Our race which seems
to have reached its limit of physical development, seems ready to enter
upon the foretold stage of psychical evolution.
In November
1884, he obtained a standard for progressive research in the success of
an experiment, for which he has tried many times before without
arriving at result of his theories. One of those present afterwards
wrote him for an explanation of the phenomena. A small globe rotated
when two persons had taken hold of the rod together, with a firm grasp
- one of them standing on a circular sheet of metal, from which piano
wires stretched toward the globe, near enough to touch one of the
plates of glass which insulated the ball, Mr. Keely replied, "I cannot
describe it other than the receptive concussion of the two forces,
positive and negative, coming together, seeking their coincidents and
thus producing rotation by harmonious waves, not streams. You ask if
sound waves had anything to do with the motion of the globe? Nothing,
the introductory settings are entirely different. The ball ceased to
rotate when I took your left hand in my right hand, while with our
other hands holding the iron rod resting on the metal plate, because
the receptive flows became independent of the circular chord of
resonation as set up mechanically. The power of rotation comes on the
positive and the power of negation breaks it up." [Keely,
Snell
Manuscript]
ONE of the leading scientists of America, Dr. Joseph
Leidy, LL.D of the University of Pennsylvania, surprised the thinking
world in 1889 by coming forward publicly as a supporter of the inventor
of the famous "Keely Motor."
Dr. Leidy's published statement was:
"Having
had the opportunity of seeing Mr. John Keely's experiments, it has
appeared to me that he has command of some unknown force of most
wonderful mechanical power.”
(Signed) JOSEPH LEIDY.
Coming from a scientist of such repute, these words caused a
considerable sensation in both financial and scientific quarters.
A further statement from Dr. Leidy appeared in The Inquirer
(Philadelphia) as follows:
April 8th, 1890.
"After having had the opportunity of witnessing a series of experiments
made by Mr. John Keely, illustrative of a reputed new motor power, it
has appeared to me that he has fairly demonstrated the discovery of a
force previously unknown to science. I have no theory to account for
the phenomena observed, but I believe Mr. Keely to be honest in his
attempt to explain them. His demonstrations appear to indicate great
mechanical power, which when applied to appropriate machinery, must
supersede all ordinary appliances.”
(Signed) JOSEPH LEIDY.
Previous to this announcement, for upwards of twenty years a completely
unknown man, John Worrell Keely of Philadelphia, had been working
patiently and secretly to demonstrate that he had discovered a new
force in nature that would eclipse electricity and all other known
mechanical forces.
An extremely big order, all must admit. Keely had been working on his
idea long before scientists had begun to discuss the probability of
"bursting the atom" to release the enormous force contained in it,
which experiment has in recent years been partially carried out by
scientists in England, Germany and America during 1932-33.
Keely's principal work for years previous to its becoming talked about,
had been his efforts to demonstrate, to put it in his own words "that
all corpuscles of matter can be subdivided by certain orders of
vibration, thus showing up new elements." It was not however, until by
what men call "mere chance" that Macvicars' Sketch of a Philosophy fell
into his hands, together with a work entitled Harmonies of Tones and
Colours, Developed by Evolution, written by a Mrs. F. J. Hughes, a
niece of Darwin's, that caused him to turn his attention to the
structure of ether and he learned that "the same laws which develop
harmonies develop the universe.”
This recalls to one's mind that beautiful prophetic verse by Coleridge:
"What if all of animated nature
Be but organic harps diversely formed,
That tremble into thought as o'er them
sweeps,
Plastic and vast, one intellectual
breeze.
At once the soul of each and God of all
?"
From this moment Keely turned his attention to etheric vibration and
the flow of the magnetic current of the earth from pole to pole, with
the astonishing result that he so perfected a motor to make use of
these forces that between 1889 and 1890 he was in a position to show to
scientists, in his laboratory in Philadelphia, a machine that ran by
some mysterious power, or to quote the words of Dr. Leidy, "he
demonstrated the discovery of a force previously unknown to science."
One might have imagined that such an extraordinary discovery would have
been hailed by scientists and the press as great a revolution as that
caused by the steam engine and later by the production of electricity.
The contrary was, however, the case. Nearly all men of science, with a
few exceptions, together with the press, ridiculed the idea as
impossible, and did not hesitate to call Keely a charlatan and a fraud.
Prejudice against the unfortunate inventor ran so high that whatever
financial sources he had became dried up, and for some years he was
often reduced to the point of starvation.
Whatever help or encouragement he received during this period came from
two women, who perhaps in their intuition, foresaw the possibilities of
such a discovery long before it could penetrate the more dense minds of
men.
One of these ladies, Mrs. Bloomfield-Moore of Philadelphia, suffered
cruelly for her loyalty and generosity to the inventor. Some of her
relations attempted in the Courts to prove her insane. An injunction
was obtained against her making use of her property, and she was in the
end reduced to almost a state of complete limitation.
It was at her house in London that I first heard of the "Keely Motor."
Sitting next me at the luncheon table was the well-known scientific
engineer, Major J. Ricarde Seaver, a man well known in London circles
who for services rendered in some engineering project had been made a "
grandee " of Spain.
The conversation had turned on the prospects of the "Keely Motor," a
subject that on account of hostile criticism about the same time in the
press was being much discussed.
To the surprise of everyone present, Major Ricarde Seaver said:
"I have
only heard of John Keely's discoveries in the press. All projectors of
new ideas are at first subjected to calumny, criticism and ridicule.
James Watts, the inventor of the steam engine, took over thirty years
to develop his plans. In the meantime he was often laughed at.
"When the
idea was first mooted of running an electric cable to America, it was
considered absurd. It is the same with many other inventions that in
the end prove of use and benefit to humanity.
"Judging
from articles I have read, Mr. Keely has demonstrated to many eminent
men his neutralizing or overcoming of the law of gravity and the
separation of metallic plates by a new means of employing the Law of
Vibration. Such men as Dr. Joseph Leidy of the University of
Philadelphia and Dr. James M. Wilcox, the author of Elemental
Philosophy have testified that they have witnessed Keely's experiments
and were satisfied that he has made manifest the existence of some, up
to now, unknown power that cannot be explained by ordinary physical
laws.
"The
opinions of such men cannot be lightly thrown aside. I only wish that
the opportunity may some day come my way to be sent to Philadelphia to
investigate Keely's discoveries myself."
As Major Seaver had only met Mrs. Bloomfield-Moore for the first time
that day, he was later surprised to hear that our hostess had for years
been deeply interested in the progress of the " Keely Motor."
Six months later, Major Seaver dropped in to see me in my rooms in New
York City.
"Yes," he said, as he held out his hand, "my wish became realized.
Barnato Brothers, the firm to which I am advisory engineer, have sent
me over to investigate and report on the 'Keely Motor.' I am going to
Philadelphia tomorrow and I propose that you come with me. Give
yourself a holiday for a few days and come along."
The next day found Major Seaver and myself on the train
together.
During the journey I got the Major to tell me something of his plans.
"I have
no preconceived ideas about Keely, one way or the other," he said. "I
am just going with an open mind commissioned to report to my employers
if there is any commercial possibilities in his 'Motor.' Its supposed
weak point is, that it can only be set in motion by Keely striking a
chord of vibration on a violin, which is the key to unlock a similiar
vibration in the machine. If this is really the case, then a man of
Keely's attainments may any day invent an instrument to take the place
of the violin, and if such a thing should happen, it would be worth
while for such a firm as Barnato Brothers to pay many millions of
pounds to have an interest in such an epoch-making discovery."
The next morning Major Seaver presented his credentials at Keely's
workshop.
The inventor received us without any formality. He was in fact in his
shirt-sleeves and did not even make a pretence of putting on his coat.
He was a most unassuming man, very simple and direct in his words and
expressions.
He had no pretensions of being taken for an engineer or a scientist or
anything out of the way.
In answer to one of Major Seaver's questions as to what had first led
him to believe that an, up to then, unknown force existed beyond the
power of steam and electricity, he very simply said, "The idea came
into my mind from where I cannot tell. Perhaps it first came from a
craze I had to study the magnet to attempt to solve what the mysterious
power was that enabled it to attract steel and iron to itself.
"For a
long time I wondered over the indisputable fact that a horseshoe of
iron could be magnetized in a few seconds by the current of a few
amperes from a battery, and that such a magnet could lift many pounds
weight of metal. Further, that every second of time without end while
the magnet is expanding energy it totals up an almost inconceivable
amount of actual power, not alone that, but the magnet of one pound
lifting power today, may and in fact will be stronger tomorrow.
"Where
does this really tremendous amount of energy come from? By what
inscrutable process does the mere magnetization of a bar of iron make
of it a machine for the transformation of energy, even more, a
perpetual creator of force?
"It came
into my mind that there was a hidden process going on of some kind,
energy going into the magnet and flowing out of it all the time it was
doing work energy in some form.
"Where
did it come from—gravity? atmosphere? solar rays? earth currents? Who
can say?
"The mere
fact of the magnet carrying its load proves conclusively the constant
flow or positive action of a sympathetic force, the velocity exceeding
millions of vibrations per second.
"In the
course of many years of experiments, I believe I have discovered a
means of harnessing what may be called ' etheric' force and of
overcoming gravity.
"I want
you, Sir," Keely went on, turning to Major Seaver, "to examine my
machines from the standpoint of the sceptic. Calumny has asserted that
I have them connected by a hollow steel wire by which I employ
compressed air.
"I want
you to satisfy yourself especially on this point. You are entitled to
lift the motor off the bench, to place it where you like and it will
still function.
"The
first demonstration I will give you is that of starting the motor by a
note of music, otherwise vibration. I want you to do this yourself. You
will take this violin, pass the bow across the strings. At first you
may not succeed, but you will eventually."
Major Seaver took the violin. He was fully ten feet away from the
machine he was supposed to start. For fully five minutes he tried note
after note, but nothing happened. He handed the violin over to Keely.
Perhaps it was due to his long years of practice, or it may have been
owing to his unusually keen musical hearing, but the fact remained that
in one stroke of the bow an immediate response was heard in the
machine. The buzz from it grew louder every second until its speed
became so great that, although bolted firmly on the bench, it rocked
the whole place.
"Can you
stop it?" Seaver asked. For answer Keely drew a discordant note from
the violin. The machine immediately began to slow down and finally
stopped.
"Now, Major," Keely said, " you should be able to start it up
yourself. Be patient, try tone after tone and chord after chord. Sooner
or later you must strike the right one."
Major Seaver, with a very patient look on his face, again took the
violin. This time he drew longer notes from the instrument. Suddenly an
answering buzz was heard in the machine. It started off as-before, its
speed rapidly increasing every moment.
Again the Major lifted the violin. He drew a sharp discord from the
strings. Instantly the motor slowed down and became silent again.
"Remarkable," was all Seaver said. Then, taking up a wrench
lying near at hand, he very deliberately undid the bolts and lifted the
motor off the bench.
As no connecting wires of any kind were to be seen he rebolted the
machine and handing me the violin, told me to try.
Perhaps it was what is called "beginners' luck." I had barely drawn a
sharp clear note from the "A" string, when again the motor started.
This time the "stopping" was the difficult part. Though I struck
discord after discord, still the motor went on rapidly increasing its
velocity. I appealed to Keely to help me. He took the violin, struck
one discord and immediately the motor slowed down and stopped as before.
"That is
the one weak point that up to now prevents its commercial value," Keely
said. "My efforts now are being concentrated to make an instrument that
will give off an exact note to start and stop the machine at will. The
difficulty is not an easy one to get over owing to the variation in the
magnetic and etheric currents which are changing continually, but I
believe that one of these days I will get the inspiration how to solve
the problem."
Keely next showed us his revolving globe of glass that had caused much
comment in hostile newspapers.
It was of very simple construction, merely a large glass globe balanced
on a pivot of platinum that, when spinning, kept its equilibrium by
centrifugal action exactly as a boy's top keeps itself in position by
the same law.
This globe was also started by a vibration from the violin. When it had
attained considerable velocity, Keely made me lift it off the table and
carry the whole thing, wooden stand and all, several times round the
room. As its revolutions became more and more rapid I grew alarmed,
believing it might any moment fly to pieces. Again a discord from the
violin and in a few minutes it stopped.
The next day Keely showed Major Seaver and myself another of his
inventions equally startling. It was nothing more or less than a means
of overcoming the law of gravitation as applied to airships.
Before going into this demonstration the inventor showed as a
remarkable experiment in connection with this idea.
Three glass chambers, forty inches in height, filled with water, were
placed on a slab of glass. In each of these cylinders were three metal
spheres weighing six ounces each. When a wire composed of silver and
platina connected these glass chambers with the sympathic transmitter,
the metal spheres rose or descended in them or remained stationary at
any point with a motion as gentle as that of a thistledown floating in
air.
In demonstrating what appeared to be the overcoming of gravity for
aerial navigation, Mr. Keely next showed us a model of an airship
weighing about eight pounds. When the differential wire was attached to
it, it also rose floated, or remained stationary, at whatever height he
wished it to be.
This remarkable demonstration of this model airship, it must
be remembered, was shown us at the Keely Laboratories in 1890, some
thirteen years before the brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, flew the
first aeroplane in [Carolina in 1903 and Dumont flew] in France in 1906.
Keely allowed Major Seaver to make, without hindrance or opposition,
whatever investigations he wished. The Major in the end freely
confessed that he could find no evidence of "hollow wires," compressed
air or electric power used in any way in Keely's demonstrations.
As we returned to New York on the train the next day he summed up his
meeting With the inventor by saying: "I can only come to the same
conclusion as Professor Leidy and Dr. J M Wilcox ' that Keely has
command of some unknown force of most wonderful mechanical power.'”
In spite of this, this really great inventor, or as Keely preferred to
be called, "discoverer," was no nearer to financial success than
before. Major Seaver had to report to his company, Barnato Brothers of
London, that until the moment arrived when Keely produced a mechanical
device to take the place of his violin there could be no prospect of
success of " the Keely Motor," from a commercial point of view.
And so things went on until Mrs. Bloomfield-Moore, under opposition
from her family, could no longer remain as Keely's backer. Bills and
writs for money came pouring in on the inventor's head, the press lost
patience, papers denounced "the Keely Motor" as a failure and Keely as
"one of the greatest swindlers that ever lived."
Perhaps it is that inventors, like poets, painters and writers, belong
to an unusually sensitive class. They can only create by being
encouraged in their visions and dreams.
So few realize that "dreams" have been so often the forerunners of
reality that it is to "dreamers" that the world owes so much. Poor
Keely became literally hounded to death by the press, under-paid
reporters in search of copy made "wonderful revelations," editors in
easy chairs wrote sarcastic comments.
"Man's inhumanity to man" crushed one more over-sensitive soul, and so
a great discovery became lost, at least for the time being.
Alone, one night in the winter of 1898, after destroying all his
papers, the records of over twenty years research, together with his
machines, John Worrell Keely put an end to his own life.
Copy of final report of the investigations of W.
Lascelles-Scott of the Physical and Chemical Laboratories, Forest Gate,
England.
May 1st, 1896.
"From a lengthened personal examination of Mr. Keely's appliances, I am
distinctly of the opinion that he has discovered a force hitherto
absolutely unknown to science, and that he holds within his grasp a
driving power, or means of performing mechanical work, which might be
called illimitable.”

Editor’s note: It has not yet been substantiated why or how Keely died.
Cheiro’s opinion is stated above. Other errors in his report cast doubt
on this idea. Other stories attribute Keely’s death: by being run over
by a street car, pneumonia, shot or pushed under a street car.
