John Ernst Worrell Keely

John Ernst Worrell Keely (September 3 1827-November 18 1898) was a US inventor from Philadelphia who invented the Keely Motor. Keely invented, reportedly, an induction resonance motion motor. He is supposed to have used "etheric technology".

John Keely was orphaned in early childhood and he was raised by his grandparents. Before he entered into science, he worked as an orchestra leader, a carpenter, a circus performer, and as a mechanic.

In 1872, Keely announced that he had discovered a principle for power production based on the musical vibrations of tuning forks. He claimed that music could resonate with atoms or with the ether. With other engineers and investors, he founded Keely Motor Company in New York and attracted investment of $10.000 that he used to build his machine. Most of this came from businessmen in New York and Philadelphia.

November 10 1874 Keely gave a demonstration of the motor before a small group of citizens of Philadelphia. In subsequent demonstrations he kept changing the terminology he used, to "vibratory-generator" to a "hydro-pneumatic-pulsating-vacu-engine" to "quadruple negative harmonics". His most enthusiastic supporter was a wealthy widow Clara Jessup Bloomfield-Moore. Scientists investigated his machine that appeared to run on air and water, though Keely endeavored to avoid this.

Keely continued to make more research for his machine and built new models. He did all experimentation himself, never willing to let anyone else touch his machinery - especially engineers and scientists. To maintain interest, Keely organized regular public demonstrations. He often used musical instruments to activate his machines, a "vibratory engine" connected to "liberator" made of brass wires, tubes and tuning forks. He accompanied his exhibition with eloquent recitals of his theories.

Keely claimed that the machine could have number of economic benefits but when his investors demanded that he would create a marketable product, he refused and said that he needed to do more experiments. When Broomfield-Moore suggested that he could cooperate with Thomas Edison or Nikola Tesla, he again refused. For the 27 years Keely was running his company, he faced legal problems, accusations of fraud and even occasional claim of sorcery and involvement of occultism.

In 1890 Keely pronounced that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. The "liberator" would disintegrate air and release an etheric force that could convert one quart (1 L) of water to enough power to "send a train of cars from Philadelphia to San Francisco".

John Keely died in November 18 1898 when he was hit by a streetcar.

After Keely's death, journalists and engineers went to his laboratory to investigate his machines; Keely's supporters had already appropriated most of them, though they failed to make them work. Engineer Alexander Scott and Clarence Moore, son of Clara Bloomfield-Moore, examined the building. Inside the walls they found mechanical belts linked to a silent water motor two floors below the laboratory. In the basement there was a three-ton sphere of compressed air that ran the machines through hidden air pressure tubes.

Model of Keely's engine is in the collection of the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Keely's supporters continue to claim that he was framed.
