Probably the blueprints could be sold to some random engine manufacturer and it would then become available as a crate engine for stationary/industrial applications.

Anyway, if Elio succeed, maybe they could also offer crate engines for special equipment too. Traditional automakers such as Fiat, Ford and GM already do it.
