Resilient power-communications network

Abstract

A resilient power-communications network system consisting of autonomously powered and mobile nodes in communication with each other either through radio, light or other electromagnetic signals or through a physical connection such as through wiring, cables or other physical connected methods capable of carrying information and communication signals and the sharing of the power load amongst the nodes. The nodes powered energy generators comprising multiple data, information and voice gathering, receiving and emitting devices as well as mechanical, optical and propulsion devices.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A network system for communications and power transmission, comprising:
 at least two communication devices in communication over the network, the communication devices powered by an autonomous energy generator;   the autonomous energy generator comprising two planar layers of dissimilar materials with differing electron density and configuration, in direct contact with each other, wherein the first layer comprises a layer of solid, planar donor material on a conductive base, in direct contact with the second layer comprising a layer of solid, planar acceptor material on a conductive base, both conductive bases in electrical contact with a circuit thereby creating an at least one cell with an electric potential across the interface of the two planar layers of dissimilar materials;   thereby providing a communication system with distributed power generation that is resilient to adverse events.   
     
     
         2 . The system for network communication and power transmission of  claim 1 , wherein an ionic material is absorbed or incorporated into the at least one cell to facilitate the flow of electrons from one side of the at least one cell to the other. 
     
     
         3 . The ionic material as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the ionic material is a liquid or a solid. 
     
     
         4 . The system for network communication and power transmission of  claim 1 , wherein multiple devices in the network share the autonomous energy generator. 
     
     
         5 . The system for network communication and power transmission of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one cell is encapsulated in glass, plastic, ceramic, epoxy or acrylic. 
     
     
         6 . The system for network communication and power transmission of  claim 1 , further comprising a heat storage element. 
     
     
         7 . The system for network communication and power transmission of  claim 1 , further including an insulative sealant around the at least one cell. 
     
     
         8 . The system for network communication and power transmission of  claim 1 , further comprising a black body absorber for absorbing electromagnetic waves.
