Interesting technique.

Another simple but more messy way is with grease. You simple smear grease between the rim and tire and it seals it enough the tire will push back on. Great for larger tires that the ratchet strap does not always get. I have even used both methods together

Stem core or Schrader valve is what that's called

1/2 second blast of starting fluid and a match 5 seconds to fix that. I used to fight tires with straps. The last large truck tire i had to fix it was -25f and clean off the bead on both sides I fought it with straps for like 3 hours I was so mad about to give up. So i tried the fire trick it inflated the tire to 80psi on the dot in 1 millisecond. Less is more with starting fluid start small and work up never use the whole can. P.s why is my friends lawn tractor from 1968 still have air in the tires and Im on set number 2 on a tractor from 2010. I smell a conspiracy.
