Claim:
1. A system comprising: a chassis; a control device coupled to the chassis; a first material located on the chassis and electrically coupled to the control device; a second material located on the chassis and electrically coupled to the control device, wherein the second material is physically separated from the first material, and wherein the first material and the second material are configured to generate a first voltage potential difference between the first material and the second material based on a difference in electrochemical potential between the first material and the second material, wherein the first material and the second material are configured to activate and to power the control device based on the difference in electrochemical potential, wherein the first material and the second material are in contact with an electrically conductive fluid; and a third material located on the chassis and electrically coupled to the control device, wherein the third material is physically separated from the first material and the second material, and wherein the first material and the third material are configured to generate a second voltage potential difference between the first material and the third material; wherein the control device is configured to alter the conductance between the first material and the second material to control a magnitude of current flow between the first material and the second material to encode information in the current flow based on the first voltage potential difference and the second voltage potential difference, wherein the current flow containing the encoded information is transmitted through the electrically conductive fluid to a receiver device.
