I'd not heard of this, thought it was all via the starter (but a bigger one, that can do that re-gen thing to recoup engine braking energy for the charging tasks). The idea of constantly firing a static piston has me wondering if this is trading bearing/piston life for starter life. Seems like the worst case scenario for piston scuffing and harsh bearing loads on the fired-cylinder. Any engineers who can weigh in?
