I have been persuaded to incorporate an automatic glow plug controller in my tethered race car. The type of thing that allows you to press a button to energise your glow plug from a small on board battery which times out after say 20 seconds, long enough to get a warmed up engine away. The thing is the only ones I have found run off 4.8V to 6V. I don't have 4.8V to 6V on board my tethered car. I can fit a 1.2V NiMH or a single or pair of 3.7V Li ion batteries giving me either 3.7V or 7.4V. A lesser number of cells would be preferable.
Any ideas of how this could be done, the less weight and space the better.
Another idea is a centrifugal switch but I've not seen any thing that might work in a small ish car.
