Keely and His Discoveries by Clara Bloomfield Moore is listed under All Books as a New, English-language hard cover facsimile. ISBN: 9781169336841. It has 404 pages, sewn binding and cloth over boards. Published in 1893, the book recounts the life and work of American inventor John Ernst Worrell Keely, including his experiments with sound and vibration and his claims about "sympathetic vibration" and machines powered by air and water.

Moore examines his theories, methods and the controversies around them. In 1874, Keely demonstrated a force to businessmen who went on to launch the Keely Motor Company. When profits failed to materialize, shareholders sued and Keely was jailed. Moore, a poet, novelist and philanthropist, became his champion.

The book includes Keely's descriptions of his discoveries and hypotheses and is described as the only complete account of his work and theories. His work drew followers despite contemporary skepticism and continues to interest scientists and inventors. As a facsimile of an old original, this edition may contain library marks or notations.
