Here is an interesting description of another device that used the same
'mechanically produced cold dry vapor' that Keely used.
The account is a quote from page 311 of 'Free Energy Pioneer: John
Worrell Keely' by Theo Paijmans and purports to have utilized a KNOWN
PHENOMENON to produce pressure;
"...I will say that I have in practical operation, capable of
doing useful work, a simple apparatus which generates a constant
pressure of fifteen pounds per square inch, without heat,
chemical or electrical action, or the employment of any other
materials than a small quantity of air and water.
I use the low pressure only for convenience, but can at pleasure
increase it indefinitely in the same apparatus. I can assure
the public that producing a pressure only limited by the
strength of the generator, from no other source of power than
a small quantity of cold water, air moving slowly therein,
is no 'humbug,' nor new discovery, but is a fact, long shown to
scientists and mathematicians.
..respectfully, A. Arnold, Tenafly, New Jersey, July 4th, 1875."

Another wonderful quote from the book, that most claims suffer;
Page 308-309 about a researcher named Wronski;
"..dared to involve himself with inventions, he constructed
mathematical machines, revolving axes which were put together
in an admirable fashion...
Only his machines would not work because the copper
and bronze of his devices would
not acknowledge the truth of his philosophies."
