摘要

In a quiet corner of Crestron Electronics' cavernous Rock leigh, N.J. research lab, an aged engineer hunches over a chaotic assembly of plastic tubes, spinning motors and wire. He flips a switch and an exhaust pipe spews a plume of white mist "This is my Rube Goldberg machine," says George Feldstein, with an impish grin. "I always have to keep my hands busy. Not bad for a CEO, huh?" At 70 the founder of Crestron Elec tronics—maker of myriad home au tomation devices—is as fit and energetic as a man half his age. He's also a tireless tinkerer, with 14 patents to his name. His latest project—a more efficient hu midifier—has been in the works for over a year. Typical evaporative humidifiers require water tanks (breeding grounds for bacteria), while the steam-injection variety gobble electricity. So Feldstein invented a system that pressurizes a small amount of water and pushes it through tiny nozzles, atomizing it into vapor. When he tested it in his home last winter, the mist left a dusting of salt all over the furniture. ("My wife nearly threw me out," he says.) With any luck the boss' latest invention will hit the market next year.
