Pretty cool, but what would you use it for?

You'd impress your friends with how much spare time you have. =-D

OR...put it in one of those kiddie cars that normally have just a battery powered motor in it...and be the most popular Dad on the block.  =-D

About the only thing that engine would be good for is an RC car (although it'd be way too much) or LARGE RC plane.
