Would it be possible to construct an electric generator using only ionic conductors like salt water?

In a world where people are not allowed to (or choose not to) make use of electron flow current, would it be possible to construct an electric generator using ionic conductors such as tubes with salt water? If so would that work efficient enough to be practical?

Edit: Or, if I were to take a permanent magnet dynamo/magneto and replace the electric wires with salt water tubes (and make the magneto proportionally larger to accommodate the tubes, which would have a larger diameter than copper wire), would that be able to generate any kind of measurable/usable current? Or would the higher electrical resistance or something else prevent that.
