WARNING:
Glow plugs get VERY hot and are designed to be a source of ignition, powering a glow plug when it is not immersed in a moving liquid can cause it to become so hot the tungsten melts. Powering a glow plug immersed in a flammable liquid can heat the liquid to its point of ignition. Powering a glow plug in an atmosphere of flammable fumes can cause an explosion.
These designs are presented here only as "Food for thought" and it is not recommended that anyone build this device other than as an experiment in a controlled environment.
