The numbers are good and depending on loop arrangements and temps you could have anywhere from current FF projections (~5MWe and ~8MWt) up to 8MWe/5MWt…

Actually, the numbers suck. They are “hoping” to get the cost/kwh down to “half” of 25¢ — which is 12.5¢/kwh. Which is about 50X as high as the output from FF.
There is NO arrangement, regime, or setup whereby a 50X higher cost technology can improve on the net costs of FF. I.e., every kwh thus recovered/salvaged from the “waste heat” could have been provided at 2% of that price from another FF.
