Very intriguing idea.
Seems to me that, under this eAssist, the prime mover would briefly become the generator/alternator, with the engine itself briefly turning into an accessory.
As long as the belt was routed properly, and as long as loads did not exceed 5 HP or so, there should be no need for a special serpentine belt.
I could see this being used to move a vehicle from a dead stop condition. Not sure about WOT performance, though...
