Solar Power + Semiconductors = Clean Water
With the administration of data centers to absorb enormous amounts of energy and concerns about the amount of gallons of water required to make semiconductors, one would never think that the chips would provide a solution to some of the problems of resources and environment. But the semiconductor industry really wants to use its chips to make life greener.
And in some cases, technology offers an answer. An engineer from Mexico, for example, has used four different types of processors from Freescale low capacity for distilling water using solar energy, a glass and semiconductor system for estimating water needs and scattered around the house. José Luis Rojas digital solar digital, won a design competition conducted by the chip manufacturer Freescale.
Distillers generally work from home by collecting and channeling water into a chamber with a diagonal roof heated by the sun. The heat is enough to kill impurities in the water, leaving a film of condensation water on the roof of the distiller. The condensation then drips through the roof angled toward a clean water receptacle.
It is low-tech, but the accession of one of its chips to detect impurities, heat and direct water around the home is making the technology is so compelling for Freescale. Rojas plans to use the $ 50,000 prize to help marketing his product.
