So, I'm not sure this is new. Unless this article is several years old.

These have been around for a fair few years, and it's a pretty cool idea. Big Clive did a teardown video of a set 2.5 years ago.

So, unless this guy invented this thing considerably before that, I'm going to say it's a tenuous claim at best.
