Will toroidal propellers change the world?


I was watching YouTube videos about the efficiency gains from toroidal propellers, which have been developed at MIT.

I wondered to what extent these are likely to change the world, given that propeller efficiency has a gigantic impact on so many aspects of society.

Anyone here with the expertise to know possible futures for toroidal propeller innovation?
