Electro-sifters, akin to moisture vaporators, were employed by the Aki-Aki – the native inhabitants of the desert planet Pasaana. These devices functioned by capturing seeds carried on the planet's breezes, which then enabled the Aki-Aki to cultivate them through dustgrain farming. Furthermore, electro-sifters incorporated moisture vaporator technology, and a network of these devices had the capability to hydrate the dry desert environment.
