Reference excerpt

Johann Grander (24 April 1930 – 24 September 2012) was the Austrian inventor of a water revitalization technology. which has scientifically been proven as controversial.

Life Grander was born in Jochberg, Austria, the second of five children. At the age of 13 the Nazi district leadership deprived him of further schooling and sent him to work as an agricultural tractor driver.

Revitalized water Grander stated that Jesus had appeared to him and gave him the plan for water revitalization because of his connection with God. Grander invented a scientifically unproven process for treating water, producing what he called "revitalized water" (German: "Belebtes Wasser"). According to Grander, this improves the water structure and produces a healthy environment for useful microorganisms. In 1978, Grander founded the Grander family business (Grander GmbH) and focused on research on his technology for original Grander technology. Grander's family continues in activities for the treatment, production and marketing of revitalized water and water treatment equipment. It is scientific consensus that the claims as to how the process changes water are not supported by physics or chemistry and may be called "esoteric nonsense", in the sense of freedom of speech, regarding a verdict of a lawsuit. Grander GmbH itself focused on customer evidences and testimonials until 2016. Since 2016 the company claims positive effects for the use of Grander water treatment technology used in the industrial sector or in different trades. Supporters and customers in different professions claim that it cuts the running costs of industry from steel works to fruit canning factories, of public swimming pools, and makes for more effective water-based physiotherapy for injuries. Nevertheless, the claim lacks any scientific confirmation.

Legal rulings In 2005 Ecoworld NZ Ltd was fined $60,000 and ordered to pay $68,000 in compensation to consumers that bought their Grander Living Water units. The judge said that the promotional material for these units "contained inconsistencies, quackery and pseudo-science." In 2006, the Viennese Oberlandesgericht ruled that the claim that seriously ill people may forgo medical treatment and trust in the effects of the revitalized water does not constitute fraud because the vendor guarantees a right of return. They also ruled that Grander's revitalized water may adequately be described as "esoteric nonsense". In 2009, another New Zealand company, Big Blue Limited involved in the "energised" water using "Wasser 2000 Vibration Technology" was fined $25,000 in the Auckland District Court for making false claims.

Awards In 2001, the Republic of Austria recognized the life work of Johann Grander with the Honorary Cross for Science and Art. A 2008 parliamentary initiative to strip him of the award on the grounds of missing scientific merits was unsuccessful. The reason given was that the only other person stripped of the award was a Nazi doctor and that Grander's case was less severe. In 2019 Grander was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the German Society for the Scientific Investigation of Pseudosciences, a price awarded to the "most astonishing pseudo-scientific nuisance".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Johann Grander

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Johann Grander claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Johann Grander before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Johann Grander ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Johann Grander

In research: Johann Grander appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Johann Grander in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Johann Grander is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1930 births, 2012 deaths, 20th-century Austrian inventors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Johann Grander outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
