    A Japanese start-up called Aquafairy aims to commercialize hydrogen fuel cell technology for consumer use in 2014. Their fuel cells would provide portable power from disposable hydrogen cartridges for electronics like smartphones. The company president showed prototypes at an exhibition and hopes to begin sales next year. This could succeed where larger companies have failed in bringing fuel cells to the mass market.

    Japanese start-up aims to bring hydrogen fuel cells to the masses in 2014

    A Japanese start-up says it has finessed a technology that could finally make consumer-grade
    fuel cells a reality. If successful, the company, Aquafairy, would create a business where many
    much larger companies have failed.
    The promise of fuel cells is attractive: instantly available electricity from a safe, disposable fuel
    cartridge. They are typically seen as a way to provide electricity where there is no power grid,
    when electricity supply has failed or, in a portable package, for on-the-go charging of gadgets
    such as smartphones or tablets.
    Prototypes of the company's hydrogen fuel cell technology are on show this week at the Ceatec
    exhibition in Japan where the company's president, Mike Aizawa, said he hopes the first
    products will be on sale next year.



    Attracting 10 million tourists to Japan

    The number of tourists visiting Japan has been on the rise this year, thanks mainly to the
    cheaper yen. In August, a record 907,000 foreign tourists visited Japan, an increase of 17.1
    percent from the same month in 2012. This surpasses the 803,000 figure reported in August
    2010. Among 40 major countries, Japan ranks 33rd in attracting foreign tourists.
