I fly remote control helicopters and planes with Nitro Engines.
They have glow plugs in them, similar to atomizers.
A quick link to how one works
How does a RC Glow Plug work? What Glow Plug do I need to use?
They come in all types of size and power ratings and have to work properly. But they do fail at times.
A list of some types
O.S. Glow Plugs
Here is what we use to make it glow to start the engines

A perfect and very very cheap screwdriver ya thing ????
Plug in the glow plug and it starts to glow off the battery contained in the stick. Charge it using a wall adapter or a standard remote control charger.
Has anyone tried this before ????
I might have to have a play this w/e as I have everything at hand in plenty...
I feel a mod coming on. These glow sticks / starters easily last a few hours constant use and I am sure the batteries can be upgraded.
The best part is they can be found in every town all over the world. I can't see the FDA stepping into the remote control arena to ban them can you ?
