Forgotten the model diesel engine has higher torque than glowplug engine???
I hadn't forgotten them but even a diesel doesn't put out much torque at zero revs
--------------
Oddly enough, a reciprocating steam engine produces maximum torque at zero rpm.
I suppose that if you absolutely insisted upon using a glow plug, you might be able to rig up a way to fire up the boiler via glow heat. <G>

Steam engine are powerful. but most powerful are hydraulic engine when we are talking about maximum torque at zero rpm.
