Problem is they aren't going to simply demo the engines:

"These Mark I engines have a max 5HP rating. They will be installed by our customers and potential licensees in their systems such as..."

Since they are customers and potential licensees rather than potential customers and licensees it is pretty clear they are selling these engines. If you are building something like an engine with a number of moving parts and thermal issues, you don't just build a handful of demonstrators and take orders. Obviously some products are more demanding than others.

Does anyone think a commercial engine manufacturer knocks out a few engines and then goes straight out and takes orders? Having some contact with the industry, I can tell you that the product is exhaustedly tested under the most demanding conditions for periods of up to a few years before most customers even know it exists. Any press or consumers who test a pre-production model are testing something that is about as close to the final production model as it could be without coming off the same tooling. No one ever goes from a few prototypes and straight into production.
