There is way too many flaws in the system for it to be useful for more than a year. One very important one is that bees work from the outside in which means that there is no way to tell if the honey in the center of the comb is properly cured (in the video and the windows only show the ends not the centers) and uncured honey will actually ferment. To prevent this you would have to remove the comb to ensure that they are wax capped and shake the comb to remove the honey from those uncapped combs which will remove the fermented honey (or at least enough of it) then replace it and then move on the the "easy" extraction technique.
