A benchtop signal generator capable of producing a 15Mhz signal utilizes around 70watts max.
Granted, his equipment was a bit more advanced. Point being researchers from a couple of universities were excited at this discovery which could lead to breakthrough technologies.
The idea is to realize more energy out than in.

And?
“The idea is to realize more energy out than in.”
Assuming it worked, he was putting in more energy than he could get out.
