“Good for home many hours, I wonder.”

There’s a market for one that would be good for two, if it’s cheap and good enough - A cruise missile, for example. Keep in mind that the MTBF on the Nazi ME-262’ engines was MAYBE 8-10 hours.

One certain way to answer that question.
Let the engineers who claim credit for this technological breakthrough to travel exclusively in aircraft powered by the mickey mouse device for the next couple of years.

Normally jet engines last for tens of thousands of flight hours with minimal maintenance.

On the other hand, for "disposable" applications it may fit the bill. Powering drones in a hostile environment comes to mind.
