Interesting, 200kw external combustion (sterling-like) generator, 60% efficient.

It's external combustion, so it's just burning fuel to put heat into the helium that is in the core - so it can burn "anything", they say explicitly they can support ```Hydrogen, Natural Gas, R/CNG, Biogas, Propane, Ammonia, Methanol, Diesel, Jp-8, Gasoline, and more.```

In theory it should be possible to run it on solid fuel, but there are challenges because the heat exchanger will get clogged if the fuel burns smokey.
