There were a few large stationary engines that started that way. Of course the shell has no pellets, just a powder charge that gets it to turn over. the one I saw start one time didn't turn over real fast but it did start! I think there was an auto accessory back in the early 1900s that you screwed an adapter into a spark plug hole and you could use a shell to crank the engine, I have never seen one , but I have seen an ad for one. Some Old cars like an 1913 Oldsmobile Limited had a 707 cid engine (only made 60 hp)Winton and Locomobile also had big ones,and they could be a tough one to crank on a cold day. Some of those big beasts also had air starters that used compressed air from a tank to roll them over.If the tank was empty , you had to get out the tire pump and fill the tank and try it again. After it started there was a compressor that ran off the belt or gear drive off the engine that would fill the tank for the next start.
