Default Turbines - will Innodyn succeed?

Saw a story on Innodyn turbines. Are their claims realistic? Will they
succeed?

188 pounds?
7 gallons per 100 hp?

Can they scale this ...DOWN?

Would a (80-100 hp) turbine weighing 100-140 pounds be a hit? Burning
5-6-7-8 gallons per hour?

Again, can their 165 hp - 255 hp turbines be scaled DOWN to a Rotax 582/912
size?

(From Products page)
Innodyn offers a number of Turbines to meet the experimental pilot's needs.
While every model is based on Innodyn's core Turbine design, each is
optimized to provide the strongest performance.

Each Turbine weighs no more than 188 pounds, and is designed for use with
our firewall forward kits. We're confident that our Turbines and firewall
forward kits are right for the vast majority of experimental applications.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Our Turbines are designed for output speeds of 2,000; 2,250; 2,500; 2,750;
3,000; and 3,600 RPM. We recommend the use of 2,750 RPM for fixed-wing
aircraft applications.
