DUNE!..............
Guess all they really needed was a droid who could understand the binary language of moisture vaporators, and Threepio stepped up.

Wasn’t that Genesis Effect in Star Trek II?

No real mention of cost.
Sounds as if it may have niche potential. Might be a desert survival tool, but how much energy to obtain useful water from the salt-water which it generates?

In Dune, the Fremen had devices that would collect moisture and dew from the dry Dune air, every drop was precious.
They collected huge masses of water in underground cisterns and qanats.............

I have a sunflower plant that survived very hot dry spells. There are tiny, tiny, thin needles coming out of stalks on the plant. All the boffins gotta do is mimic that.
Another b.s. headline. “TRANSFORMING air into water”..how about “CAPTURING water out of air”?

A solar still draws moisture out of the plants and/or dampness in the soil, not from the air.

I was thinking of moisture farmers; long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Good on them. I hope it’s large-scale and successful.
We did this in Science Class back when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth! Some of you HAD to have learned this in Scouts or in the Military in Survival Courses? I did.

Lots of ideas for collecting/making/distilling water on Prepper sites.

But, can they turn the water into wine?

Draining huge amounts of moisture from a desert will have effects on the ecosystem. I am not a whack job green supporter. Changing drastically any thing made by our creator has negative effects.

There is only so much water in the air. But of course, they just need a few billion in government money to further study.
I have noticed many new breakthroughs and discoveries at US colleges are done by those with Chinese names. Hmmm..
