The Skywalker farm did this by using a fictional device called a Vaporator and presumably, with Tatooine being a hot and humid desert planet, water was a highly valuable commodity. Amin Al-Habaibeh - a Professor of Intelligent Engineering Systems at Nottingham Trent University - has been working with his team to turn this piece of science fiction tech into a reality.
Scientists at M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology have already been developing a technique for trapping water vapor from the air and harvesting water from it using solar-powered metal organic frameworks that catch the vapor and use the sun to condense it. However, Al-Habaibeh and his team are now developing a more efficient version using recycled refrigerators and freezers, as well as components cannibalized from other household pieces of hardware.
Al-Habaibeh points out that using the principle of condensation to turn water vapor into water actually yields a larger output in the high humidity conditions that would've been present on Tatooine, as the amount of vapor present in the atmosphere is higher. Continuing east over a hill, the evil Sith Lord Darth Maul touches down on a structure known to Tunisians as Camel Head Rock, a popular location for viewing sunset. For the interior of the Lars homestead, Lucas chose traditional underground Berber cave dwellings known as troglodytes.
Upon landing, the droids encounter the imposing skeleton of a Krayt Dragon, signaling that Tatooine is anything but a welcoming planet. Left over from the Disney film One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing , this massive, fiberglass prop came to Tunisia by chance when the crew chartered a Lockheed Hercules to transport forgotten equipment. Though the dunes have shifted, the skeleton remains buried beneath the sand.
Nearby on the Chottt el Jerid salt flat is exterior of the Lars family homestead, a tiny igloo set surrounded by craters to give the impression of an underground dwelling. Aside from Luke's childhood scenes, the exterior shot is used during gut-wrenching and pivotal moments: when Anakin learns that his mother has been captured by Tusken Raiders, when Obi-Wan delivers infant Luke to Owen Lars and when Luke discovers that stormtroopers have murdered his aunt and uncle.
Sidi Bouhlel is a ravine outside of Tozeur that shares the name of a nearby marabout, or holy shrine. There is no in-universe explanation for why Vader didn't sense that Leia was his daughter sooner, otherthan the fact that Leia did not realized that she was Luke'ssister and therefore Vader's daughter until ROTJ.
However,a lot of fans can come up with their own explanations. Anunciacion Robakidze Explainer. Did Obi Wan die?
On board the Death Star, Obi - Wan shutsdown the tractor beam, but Vader confronts him and they engage in alightsaber duel. Although Vader strikes Obi - Wan down, his bodymysteriously vanishes the moment he dies. Hibai Bertin Pundit. Who is Luke's uncle? Nicoll Rodriguez Peral Pundit. Who is Darth Vader's brother? Darth Maul's biological brother is SavageOpress which is on the photo above. Bikramjit Vaisero Pundit. Is Palpatine Anakin's father?
Anakin's father is The Emperor. When Palpatine tells Anakin about DarthPlagueis the Wise, this was the point where fans began to believethat Palpatine may be Anakin's father.
Senaida Razquin Pundit. Is Rey Shmi Skywalker? If Rey is a Skywalker she is a descendantof Shmi Skywalker. One possibility is Shmi hadanother kid.
That is possible but will require some work as thereis no hint of such a thing. So technology that generates water from air is most suited to warm and humid climates. For the same humidity at 10, the air contains only 9.
If we cool that air from 40 to 10, we should be able to extract that water difference, which is Under these conditions with current technology, we could produce litres of water per hour using about the same energy as 18 domestic electric kettles.
At lower humidity, such as in a desert, there is less water in the air and so the system will be less efficient. You have to cool more air to extract the same quantity of water and that requires more energy. This can make the current technology too expensive for countries where water shortages are most severe. What you need is a more efficient way of capturing water vapour. The simplest way of drawing water from air is with passive technology that provides a cool surface for fog or water vapour to condense onto.
The selection of material and surface quality are critical for maximising water collection. For example, farmers in Chile use a steel mesh to catch water from fog. Researchers have shown this can be made more efficient by adding a special coating that attracts water molecules.
Then there are active cooling technologies such as a refrigeration cycle similar to the one we use in air conditioning systems and refrigerators. You can also use solid-state thermoelectric cooling, which involves something called the Peltier effect.
