I was right next to a flywheel started no-break
diesel.
It was running at full load in about one second from
a complete stand still. My heart was pounding quite hard
from the adrenaline rush I got. Another way to start
a diesel fast is with compressed air.
In anycase, "Yes", they can start that fast.
OK, I suppose you could do something like that. The few big backups I have
seen did not have them, but I could see where they could made that way..
