ABOUT AQUA POWER JAPAN

Founded in Japan in 2004, Aqua Power Japan develops, manufactures and has successfully commercialized magnesium air fuel cells for generating safe, green, reliable and inexpensive off-grid electricity. Aqua Power Japan's patented (and patent pending) Realistic Magnesium Air Fuel System ("RMAF") technology causes electricity to be generated from the chemical reaction of the combination of magnesium, oxygen (air) and a saltwater electrolyte. RMAF powered applications can be refueled virtually without limit using its proprietary lightweight magnesium rods, which fuel the chemical reaction.

RMAF fuel cells have a very long shelf, are lightweight, transportable, environmentally friendly, safe and easily scalable for greater power generation. Aqua Power has aggressively patented (16 patents and patents-pending to date) and actively protects its intellectual property in Japan and internationally.

Aqua Power Japan's fuel cell technology can be applied to most any application requiring remote power, including emergency preparedness and disaster relief, outdoor recreation, industry (mining, oil and gas, forestry), military, marine (saltwater environments), and automotive opportunities (main drive, electrical subsystems, and backup systems).

Aqua Power Japan has been generating revenue since its initial products were launched in 2009 in Japan. These products included a water-activated AA battery (more than 8 million sold to date), mini-LED flashlights, and portable radios. Aqua Power Japan products gained national attention in Japan following the earthquake and tsunami that devastated many parts of the country in 2011.
