Hot bulb engines can also be relatively small. They were even used in some cars. A short closed tube extends from the head and takes the place of a spark plug. The tube is heated by an external flame, similar to a kerosene lamp. On the compression stroke, part of the fuel/air charge is forced into the heated tube where it detonated. That would ignite the rest of the charge in the combustion chamber. Not very efficient, but it worked. It might have even been easier to start in winter, since you could turn the flame up and get the tube extremely hot.
