I have no idea what he claims to have invented, but I am almost 100% sure it does not work/exist.
He have lots of stupid idea like that 1 * 1 = 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_Howard#Terryology

In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, Howard explained that he had formulated his own language of logic, which he called Terryology, and which he was keeping secret until he had patented it. This logic language would be used to prove the false statement “1 × 1 = 2”.[36]
“How can it equal one?” he said. “If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what’s the square root of two? Should be one, but we’re told it’s two, and that cannot be.”[36]
Howard blames his leaving Pratt over disagreements with a professor regarding this hypothesis. He also stated that he spends many hours a day constructing models of plastic and wire that he patented and claims to confirm his belief.[36]
In 2017, Howard published his “proof” of the false claim that “1 × 1 = 2” on his Twitter account.[37] It was heavily criticized as containing multiple logical errors and faulty reasoning.[38]
The claims he made in his speech make no sense whatsoever. It is like a random word generator throwing together a bunch of scientific or pseudo scientific terms. Listening to it makes me think he may have some sort of mental illness involving delusions of grandeur.
He mentions hydrogen and energy, which could have lots of meanings. Hydrogen is involved in nuclear fusion, which is a potential source of clean energy. Hydrogen is also used in fuel cells, which is a way of turning stored hydrogen into electricity cleanly.
He also mentions terms like unified field theory and super-symmetry, which are related to particle physics. Discovering a unified field theory or proving super-symmetry would be impressive achievements, but wouldn’t have anything to do with a practical invention like nuclear fusion.
He also mentions that his invention involves some sort of new super strong compound, and could be manufactured and exported from Uganda. This has absolutely nothing to do with energy, or theoretical physics. He also mentions hydrogen in this context, which doesn’t make much sense because hydrogen can’t form a solid material (although it could be used as part of the recipe for something).
Lastly, he mentions that his invention would actively clean the environment, which doesn’t really apply to any of the above topics. Actively cleaning the environment either involves active filtering (such as filtering trash from the ocean or smoke particles from the air) or it involves chemical processing like carbon sequestration.
