Throughout this book I found references and footnotes to Keely and His Discoveries by Clara Bloomfield-Moore - the only book by a contemporary who was a close personal friend and financial supporter of Keely. Originally published in the late 1800s, her book - ISBN 1589636139 - is back in print and makes a wonderful companion to this book.

One has to start with an author as much as the subject of a book, and there is no doubt that Theo Paijmans ranks as one of the brightest ones around. John Keely is a fascinating person around whom to construct a biography, but the craftsman in this work is Paijmans who guides us through the mysterious alleys and side trips of Keely's life with a steady hand. A great book!

This excellent biography was long in the making, but well worth the wait. Finally John Keely rises above the footnote of history category, to which he was banished. Paijmans has done an outstanding piece of research on the man Keely, and further explores indepth the shady and occult origines of free energy and succeeds in linking more anomalous phenomena and hidden history than any before him. Not only is this a must read book, but generations to come will benefit from it.

Theo Paijmans has authored a brilliant page-turner. My copy has highlighted, underlined, dogeared pages throughout and is nearly worn out. I use it often as a reference.

A really interesting compilation work of strange photos, work and tales ( I don't know if weren't)of weird machines and curious peoples who supported Kelly's theories and work( no real evidence of it exist at public dominion today).
You will not lost your time by reading it and, there were exposed some new point of wiew about no traditional sciences.
Epilogue:Nice book, but no Keely secret were Exposed.

This is a very well-researched book that does a great job of nailing down the true genius that Keely really was. If Keely was a scam artist, like a number of people have claimed, then the author Theo Pajmans could have easily brought out hard core facts in regards to this. That is how well-researched this book is. Also, another question I have for these skeptics is, if Keely was truly a scam artist and his machines never worked, then why haven't there been any books, such as this one, written that bring this point out? I definitely believe that Keely really made some pretty amazing discoveries and the reason why we haven't heard much about anti-gravity and free energy is because the governments of this world aren't willing to share this with the general public for fear of losing money, power, and control. Also, both Keely and Tesla seem to be very logical explanations to the huge metallic boomerang-shaped and triangle-shaped UFOs that have been seen by thousands of eyewitness in both the Hudson Valley and Belgium in recent years. These boomerang and triangle crafts are able to hover without any noise issuing from them and are obviously using some form of anti-gravity technology. So, most likely, it's not the handywork of aliens, but is the utilizing of Keely/Tesla discoveries from the late 1800's into the early 1900's.

This book is well worth reading. I highly recommend picking up a copy as soon as possible and read this fascinating account of the brilliant man John Worrell Keely.

Theo Paijmans' book is compelling, well researched and loaded with facts and intrigue. The variety of information stimulated me to ask many questions and form many ideas. I enjoyed reading and pondering, reading and pondering. I am already looking forward to reading this researcher's next book.

For decades people have debated was Keely for real or a fraud. If for real why so secretive, no patents and no documentation? If a fraud, how did he pull it off for so long and why wasn't he out living the high life with all of the money? The author details just about everything known about Keely and his life. Was he an eccentric? A genius like Tesla? Tesla put his technology out there, but even he was secretive and mysterious. The author lays out everything from both sides of the debate. So much has been lost it is not easy to uncover the facts. Maybe Keely was on to something and was a perfectionist to a troubling degree. It didn't seem like he was suppressed until his death. What happened to his machines and papers? The author also details how the esoteric movements of those days kept Keely's ideas alive both in their books and through authors like Verne. Back in those days, those into the strange were interested in technology, a far cry from now. But their movements and odd beliefs were taken over by the death dealers of Nazi Germany who also latched on to the technological interests for sinister plans (some of those tech programs came to America after the war, see Hitler's Flying Saucers: A Guide to German Flying Discs of the Second World War, Hitler's Suppressed and Still-Secret Weapons, Science and Technology, The SS Brotherhood of the Bell: Nasa's Nazis, JFK, And Majic-12, etc.). At times an overkill of info, especially when discussing all of the occult connections, this book is nevertheless a must read for those inventors, engineers and theorists looking to harness technology to its true potential.

Back in the 1890s the USA was making preparations that would lead to a war with Spain, a war that would be fought over Cuba. At that time, John Worrell Keely was developing his airship, a machine that could be used to attack Havana and to aid Cuban insurgents. During the late 1890s airships were witnessed over America. However, in 1898 the airship wave ceased when Keely's anti-gravity instruments were withdrawn. Details of Keely's work were suppressed, although John Jacob Astor, a staff officer in Cuba in the Spanish-American war, perhaps in realisation of the potential of Keely's work, wrote a novel, A Journey in Other Worlds about the voyage of an airship to Jupiter.

This book covers the career of John Worrell Keely from the development of his water powered engine, powered by "imprisoned ether" formed through the decomposition/disintegration of water onwards to plans for interplanetary travel "via a small instrument, having three gyroscopes as the principal part of its construction". There is also a little bit about Lester Hendershot, who in the 1920s reportedly produced rotary motion by cutting the magnetic field east and west.

Overall, fascinating stuff.

This excellent biography was long in the making, but well worth the wait. Finally John Keely rises above the footnote of history category, to which he was banished. Paijmans has done an outstanding piece of research on the man Keely, and further explores indepth the shady and occult origines of free energy and succeeds in linking more anomalous phenomena and hidden history than any before him.
