have a read
this is starter technology that eliminates the motor, there's a sensor that recognizes which calendar is top dead center, it first ignites a calendar back wards to create pressure in the calendar that it wants to fire forward, it injects fuel and fires that calendar to start the car
another method is trying to fire all calendars and exhausting the calendars that don't fire
pretty cool stuff and I'm surprised this wasn't invented before
I think you'd still need a conventional starter for cold starts where you need a few cranks and for some situations where no cylinder is in the right position
anyway, thought it's a nice read to share
