This book has some interesting pictures and historical factoids, but as a scientist and engineer I found it to be lacking much real information. It seems that Keeley was the only person who really understood his ideas, and wrote things down in cryptic oversimplified doodles. I am very openminded and was interested in this book, but lots of it seems like pseudo-babble. Maybe I just need to read it again??

I have read and reread this book a number of times, mostly to understand the terms used by Keely. It is unfortunate that you may get distracted by the use of his own terms, don't. It is a must for the student who wants to advance of our sciences to the next level! Also read Viktor Schaubergers work! taken together,they will give you a truely remarkable insight into the nature of our universe.

I found this book to be extremely fascinating and inspirational. It covers Keely's incredible, ground-breaking research into sympathetic vibration and his quest to find useful applications for this inexhaustible power in our world. The book contains many detailed diagrams, photos of Keely and his inventions, and engaging contemporary accounts of his discoveries. Before Stephen Hawking, before Einstein, it was Keely that proposed that science and spirtuality are one and the same.

If you have any interest in physics, music, sound therapy, or just want to learn more about this amazing man, then buy this book!

This layman book, takes many sources of information and meshes together a universal law between all parts "SOUND". The book hints at a universal source of energy once talked about by a early scientific pioneer named John Keely. The book is a very good starting point for people interested in a source of free energy or just the mechanics of a possible new energy source discovered in the 1880's. The information compiled in the book includes charts and pictures of the different mediums John Keely used to explain a new force he found to be greater than electricity. Dale Ponds book is great and deserves more attention from the world.

If only he'd called himself an artist we'd be marveling at his imagination and noting how far ahead of his time he was. Instead, we have a scammer who, failing at a career in music, proceeded to live quite nicely at the hands of credulous investors.

Historically, and artistically, this book is a fascinating study. The graphics Keely created are stunningly evocative and complex, his prose gives the impression of a man in command of a universe of phenomena understood only by him. It has absolutely nothing to do with any working physics theories, and anybody with the ability to understand what he's saying will immediately recognize this. It's just pure unadulterated flim-flam designed to wow those who don't quite understand the words he's using.

Even though the book's author-- more accurately editor-- takes a few half-hearted steps to assure us he is not a fraud, it's clear that is just what he was with his free energy machines that will be working "very soon" revolutionizing the daily lives of all of us "within the decade." It's hilariously obvious none of the devices work, and never would. Those who would compare Keely to Tesla can only do so in the absence of a single critical thought. Tesla was a genius that did revolutionize our daily lives, Keely concocted mumbo-jumbo for personal gain and was never heard from again, except from a few hopeful lay inventors and conspiracy theorists in need of a better understanding of physics.

One of the things that absolutely baffled me about this book is I can't decide if the author is serious or not about Keely's physics. The text, illustrations, even the story of resurrecting one of the machines all added up to a pretty damning indictment to me, but Dale Pond writes it up like it was a vindication. Perhaps it was sarcasm. But then there is the blatantly hyperbolic title-- don't expect a delivery on that account.

I found the book an amusing-- at times laugh-out-loud outrageous-- and amazing as a historical document looking at the dawn of the technological age and the gee-whiz credulity exhibited by non scientific public. Lots of beatuful illustrations and photographs of Keely's (actually quite impressive and beautiful) sculptures and almost psychedelic "charts" depicting his fanciful pysics. Well worth leaving on the coffeetable for the amusement of your guests-- but only two stars because I think the author is in earnest and the title is about as misleading as it gets.

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.

While concise and informative, the science of sympathetic vibration is not just for the advanced scientist but for the layman as well. Although some of the text is difficult for the nontechnical reader, the authors convey a fasinating account of a technology that may change the sciences as we know them, and perhaps unlock the key to humanity itself. A very thought provoking and inspiring book about the life and work of John Keely and others who shared his dream. A must read for the free energy enthusist.

I would first like to say that Roland Barker is completely off the mark in his negative review of Keely. I find it hilarious that there have been a number of people that have labeled Keely a fraud without ever producing a single speck of evidence to support this claim. The first attempt at debunking Keely came from Scientific American shortly after he passed away. If fact, the entire thesis of these Scientific American articles was that Keely's whole scientific career had been nothing more than an entire string of frauds displayed before gullible, unscientific people who were not able to comprehend enough science to disprove Keely's incredible claims. What is utterly ridiculous about this claim of Scientific American is the fact that many noted men of science, including Joseph M. Leidy, M.D. of Pennsylvania University, James M. Wilcox, M.D., author and noted physician, along with many others, made a complete and thorough examination of Keely's inventions, his laboratory, and his demonstration of his devices and could find NO FRAUD OF ANY KIND! In fact, they were completely convinced as to the truthfulness of Keely's achievments and his understanding of the scientific method. Even the greatest of scam artists could not achieve such a feat--especially in the complete lime light of so many respected men of science acting as constant, observing eyes as to any minute clues that might reveal any fraud.
These rediculous cries of fraud from Scientific American and others began immediately after Keely's death when they made an examination of his laboratory. They thought they found what they were looking for when they tore up the floor of his lab and found a huge metal sphere underneath the floor. This event led these people to state that Keely had used compressed air to perform his miraculous demonstrations. The only problem with this hilarious claim by these so called "debunkers" was that even if this claim were true, Keely would have earned a fortune from compressed air inventions. Yet, he never made one penny off these.
It can rightly be said that both Keely and Tesla were the founding fathers of anti-gravity technology and before labeling this as "science fiction", I highly recommend that people do some research on the Hudson Valley and Belgium UFO sightings. Thousands of eyewitnesses, very credible eyewitnesses, as a matter of fact, have reported seeing huge metallic boomerang and triangle structures floating through the night skies of the Hudson Valley and Belgium, making no sound and apparently using anti-gravity technology developed by Keely and Tesla. The only main difference between Keely and Tesla is that Tesla used electrical current in accomplishing his feats, whereas Keely used frequency and vibration to accomplish his.
Much more could be said in this review about Keely, but, instead, I encourage everyone to read "Universal Laws". I all the more so encourage people to read "Free Energy Pioneer" by Theo Pajmans, which is a much better publication and very well researched.
So, while I intend no ill will toward Mr. Barker or any other so called "skeptics", I do encourage them to really research further the man John Worrell Keely and see that he was not a scammer, but one who really did discover a new source of energy, which, unfortunately, even in today's world, is still not ready for due to the lust for money and power by goverments and corporations. And no, this is not "conspiracy theory tin-foil hat" tripe, but a sad fact of life in the world we live in.

"The magnificence of the 3, the 6, the 9? Does that quote ever show up (or something like it). Keely or Tesla would have said it. my email is m.romano(at)my.ccsu.edu please let me know

I purchased this book because I was left with the impression that Tesla had had a significant contribution. Well, this is not the case.
In general, I am interested in books that go beyond the currently accepted by the scientific community concepts. However this book is well below my expectations. Many of the articles have been written by people who didn't have a solid technical background. Keely may have discovered important nature laws but I couldn't get to appreciate his work based on this book.
