Fuel cell technology is often associated with cars, specifically the next generation of automobiles that won’t run on gasoline, juice from a wall socket or any combination of the two.

Getting the whole world to switch to an entirely new fuel system for transportation is an enormous undertaking. Getting people to consider new ways to power something smaller and a little more disposable than a car may be a more realistic goal — at least for now.
