General Water from thin air?

[ender852]

MIT scientists created a hydrogel-coated window panel that extracts drinkable water from arid air, no electricity needed. Using solar heat, it produces 161.5ml daily per panel, enough for households with eight units. The food-safe design works even in Death Valley’s dryness, offering a scalable solution for water-scarce regions. A breakthrough in passive atmospheric harvesting that turns sunlight into survival.

This sounded crazy to me, but I googled it and found an article on MIT's page:

Window-sized device taps the air for safe drinking water

MIT engineers developed an atmospheric water harvester that captures water vapor and produces safe drinking water across a range of relative humidities, including dry desert air.

That was Luke Skywalkers job on Tattooine, this is ancient technology.

Sure it was a long time ago, but it was also developed in a galaxy far, far away
Even with a ship that can complete the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs we need to allot for the time to get that tech to the nearest star base

It always comes down to logistics, doesn't it..
