So much so that to date, more than 180 of his inventions have been patented. His earliest patents got sold to Samsung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not the world\u2019s greatest businessman, but I\u2019m an inventor,\u201d says the member of Seattle&#8217;s <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/buildings\/south-lake-union--seattle--WA\" target=\"_blank\">WeWork South Lake Union<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m good at making money for other people, but for me, I want to make people\u2019s lives better and happier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fjelstad does this by eliminating lead, a highly toxic metal, from electronic circuit boards that he engineers. He attributes his experimental learning to the Vietnam War. After getting drafted in college and returning to school, he realized he could teach himself anything that he wanted to. So he started tinkering with electronic devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/01\/With-180-Patents-Inventor-Aims-to-Make-People\u2019s-Lives-Better-and-Happier3-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"With 180 Patents, Inventor Aims 'to Make People\u2019s Lives Better and Happier'3\" class=\"wp-image-25127\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe technologies I\u2019ve been involved in developing are used in your smartphones today, and it\u2019s fundamentally thousands of times more powerful than computers,\u201d Fjelstad says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Circuits and transistors fascinate the founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verdantelectronics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Verdant Electronics<\/a>.

Instead, he started out working at a circuit board manufacturing company in Mountain View, California, helping interconnect electronic circuits through infrastructures like streets, tunnels, bridges, and subways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes he felt like his ideas were way ahead of his time. When he\u2019d work for companies and discuss innovative solutions, like eliminating solder from electronics, he said, \u201cPeople thought that was crazy.\u201d He knew he wasn\u2019t because he\u2019s read about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI subscribe to 30 different journals,\u201d he says. \u201cI would flip through the pages and look at high-level concepts.
