So this is actually something I've worked on for 3ish years. Not this project but a similar BiVAD. Pictured is a dual centrifugal pump. The actual impeller is probably 20mm in diameter. The maglev/ pump portion is most likely a slice motor topology. Which is passively stable axially.

This ain't new tech, buzzword + solar tower = headlines. I really love this method of solar though, minimal carbon footprint, ~0% efficiency decay. Coupled w a Sterling engine could even be used for small, off grid energy source.
