It may, in fact, be worth further investigation, but I didn't feel it was worth the effort. Just my take on it, for what that's worth, and of course I may be wrong, but it just didn't ring any bells for me. I though the inventor's name was interesting, as it reminded me of Dan Quayle.

I currently have two ring magnets almost like that shown and they are not so expensive. I bought each of them around 5-6$ as I remember, but I still doubt it to be able to generate good amount of power because the demonstration video was not so convincing. Peter Lindemann also pointed out sometime ago that the Brown-Ecklin generator was a failure as I recall which is so similar to this design, but maybe I'm wrong. I may try it some time later as I have most of the components.
