I read it properly and you're quite right. Previous articles I had read didn't mention that bit...
So to me they're basically running it lean and using a controlled form of detonation (spark ignites the fuel partly and causes a pressure and heat spike to ignite the rest of the charge?) wonder how strong the internals are. Not as strong as a real diesel I'd imagine.
