Abstract

A fuel cell (28) is operatively connected to, and powers an electronic device (50,L). The fuel cell (28) includes at least one electrode (40,44) and an electrolyte (42) in electrochemical contract with the electrode(s) (40,44). A mechanism is provided for delivering fuel to the fuel cell (28) while powering the electronic device (50,L).
