John has an article about it, here https://www.allotment-garden.org/product-reviews/vi-aqua-water-energiser/
Professor Austin Darragh has his own website about it here - https://austindarragh.wordpress.com/

But it doesn't appear to be available for sale anywhere, that I can find, anyway ....

After reading the information, I have to admit that I just don't get it. 

However, if you think it will bring joy to your gardening experience, best of luck trying to find one.

It sounds like complete bunkum. E.g. this:
Quote
The literature indicates that each of the units, whether battery or mains operated, emits safe frequency electromagnetic signals into the water which modify the molecular structure of water and increase the amount of hydrogen peroxide in the water.

The benefits are that this improves the surface tension of water so that it becomes more wettable and enables roots to more easily extract nutrients from the soil.
Electromagnetic fields don't induce chemical changes in substances (and why should they affect non magnetic ones like water?). Also why would more hydrogen peroxide (an oxidising agent) be good for roots?

OP would be better off saving their money and buying some decent compost.

It was 14 years ago when I was told about it and my initial reaction was to think it was all nonsense but as I said then "Still, Kew Gardens are endorsing the product"  I thought mycorrhizal was complete bunkum when I first heard of it too...

Thanks to Subversive_plot doing some digging, I've discovered there were major inaccuracies in the article I posted back in 2007 - For starters Kew had removed their endorsement the year before and the scientific basis seems to be on a par with homoeopathy.
I've basically deleted the content.The chap who sent me the article is no longer with us so I can't find out more from him.
Inaccurate information on the internet! Who'd have thought it possible? Come to think about it, those magic beans haven't germinated yet..
