“I’d like to thank Freescale for this exciting opportunity and access to the energy-efficient technologies needed to develop my Digital Sun Distiller,” said Rojas. “It’s rewarding to have our hard work acknowledged at the prestigious Freescale Technology Forum. The first-prize award will enable us to continue to enhance our product and help many countries conserve household water by reusing a percentage of water already used. ”
