They make these little 3 wire foobies calles transistors that work real
good to amplify stuff. sounds like you need one of those.


Seriously, what you need is a transistor, a couple resistors, a relay,
and a 9v battery (or whatever.) the transister boosts the 1.5v signal to drive
the relay, and viola!, you have power. I havn't done electic stuff in a couple
years, so I can't tell you the values, but you should get every thing you need
fron "Intro to electronic circuits" or its equivelent ($5 from radio shack).
