Never going to happen. It'll be an energy consumer.
15 HP. Hmmm, say I've got a "75 HP" electric car. I put 5 of your turbines
on the car.
It never needs fuel, you're now supplying all the energy needed to operate
the car.
I put 6 turbines on the car, I drive it forever, *and* put out 15HP
*more*than required.
I could put a bunch of electric cars on a carousel, and turn it into a
power-plant....no fuels ever needed again.

No free lunch.
