Finnish U.F.O. Research Agency
The Keely Airship was completed in 1893 and flown in a demonstration
carried out for the US War Department in 1896. The space which the Airship
occupied in Keely's laboratory came within a radius of six feet square. The
Airship generated in excess of 1000 horsepower, consisted of over 2000
pieces and weighed in excess of 1000 pounds. A small stool was placed on
the unit so that it faced a keyboard. Attached to the keyboard were many
vibratory mechanisms and tuned resonating plates. Mr. Keely said that when
the plates were polarized with "negative attraction" the Airship would rise
and float above the ground. Keely could make the Airship accelerate to any
desired speed by damping out certain notes on the keyboard.
The War Department demonstration took place in an open field where
Keely brought the Airship from zero to 500 mph within seconds. Keely was
sitting on the stool and before the keyboard. There was nothing to shield
him from the movement of the ship yet he seemed to suffer ABSOLUTELY NO
ACCELERATION EFFECTS! The War Department was impressed yet stated THEY
COULD SEE NO USE FOR SUCH A COMPLEX DEVICE!
The picture of Keely's device can be found in the UFO46.GIF file.
