Having worked for an inventor, and too late realizing that everyone has
the same obvious ideas, I say don't buy it. As your idea shows, the
people all around us will come up with good quality ideas and most of
them would be insulted if you handed them money every time they pointed
out a simple solution to a problem.
The idea that ideas are worth money is the scam. Your good work is worth
money. If someone builds something for you, then they should get paid.
If they just come up with 'ideas', then they should show you the
product. Ideas are like armpits; no matter how bad it smells, there is
probably another one just like it, and someone else will have two more.
Net creativity. If you think hard and come up with an idea, then you are
just burning up energy and not creating something for the universe to
use. If you build it or grow it, then you've done something that will be
useful in the future (hopefully).
Everything else is overhead.

Wild guess: he's built a mechanical PWM device, using a modified commutator from a
starter motor, driven by another motor. Envision a commutator where the segments
are cut into triangles, so at one end of the com the segments are close together, and
at the other they're far apart. With something like this, the commutator is just a big
switch. You spin it and vary the duty cycle by moving the brushes fore and aft.
The idea is an old one;
