The idea is to ovalize or in this case to square off the sprockets so that during the time your legs would mostly be resting (the up-stroke) that you can place more power out. Also you can use different muscles for pushing the pedals away from you rather than just down and pulling the pedals up.
This kind of thing is used by Chris Froome but no one else that has used them has thought that they got any power gains - and that has been shown correct in time trials.
