Moisture vaporator

"What I really need is a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators." "Vaporators? Sir, my first job was programming binary loadlifters—very similar to your vaporators in most respects."

- Owen Lars and C-3PO

A moisture vaporator was a device used to capture water from the air. These were typically found on desert planets such as Tatooine. Moisture farmers were beings who collected water using moisture vaporators on their moisture farms and sold it for a living. Owen Lars, for example, was a moisture farmer. Although they did not have the artificial intelligence of droids, they could still "speak" in binary language.
