Actually it is a clock. It's just the internals of a 1970’s Radio Shack large display clock. I looked at it and immediately knew it was nothing he built. He “invented” nothing. This whole thing was a setup.

as a frequenter of Radio Shack stores for decades as a hobbyist and an experimenter I knew those parts looked familiar when I saw them. Your assessment mirrors what I thought. He built nothing. He just disassembled a clock and sort of reassembled (if you can call it that) it into a metal suitcase style pencil case. This is suspivious to me given his father's background and the timing coinciding with the gov wanting o import more Muslim refugess; not just a few either.
