Real Moisture Farms

Remember the Lars Moisture Farm?

Located near the sleepy farming community of Anchorhead, Tatooine, and within reasonable traveling distance to bustling Mos Eisley, the Lars homestead was indicative of the typical moisture farm found on Tatooine. Dotting the property were a number of moisture vaporators, devices designed to pull water vapor from the parched air. The resulting water was either stored in reservoirs for later resale, or directed underground to irrigate sheltered crops.

Water From The Air
18:01 Mar 09, '04 / 16 Adar 5764


A new solution for Israel's water problems may have been found - at least on a very reduced scale. The Tadiran-Ampa company is marketing, for the first time in Israel, a relatively new gadget that produces water from thin air! The AquaMaker, manufactured by the American company Sky Spring, takes the moisture that is normally found in the air, and turns it into high-quality drinking water. A filter system is employed, minerals are added, and the water can be heated to boiling or chilled to near-freezing temperatures. The cost per unit is currently 6,950 shekels (just over $1,540), and a pair of filters - which must be replaced annually, is another $100. Tadiran representatives assured Arutz-7 that the unit does not cause "dry air" problems. They say that a liter of air-produced water costs only 30 agorot (6.7 cents).

It doesn't come with Droids though!
