Haunted Stirling
From heart-stopping accounts of apparitions, poltergeists and related supernatural phenomena, to first-hand encounters with phantoms and spirits, this collection of stories contains both new and well-known spooky tales from around Stirling.A whole chapter is dedicated to the mysterious goings-on at Stirling Castle, where cleaners in the King's Old Building claimed to have heard footsteps coming from the third floor — which hasn't existed since a fire in the nineteenth-century; while a 1930s photograph purports to capture the shadow of a phantom guardsman — possibly the same 'Highland Soldier' often reportedly mistaken by tourists for a castle guide. The town itself has no shortage of fascinating tales, including the story of the Old Town's most famous phantom, seventeenth-century merchant John 'Auld Staney Breeks' Cowane, whose spirit is said to inhabit his statue each Hogmanay.A playful ghost supposedly throws pots and pans around the kitchens of the Darnley Coffee House, while frequent power failures and mishaps in the Tolbooth Theatre — originally the eighteenth-century Burgh jail — are blamed upon the malicious spirit of the last man hanged, Alan Mair.Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, Haunted Stirling is guaranteed to intrigue and chill both believers and sceptics alike.

What is the efficiency n of the Stirling cycle process?
The efficiency n of the Stirling cycle process is given by the formula n = 1 - (Tc/Th), where Tc is the temperature of the cold reservoir and Th is the temperature of the hot reservoir. The Stirling cycle is known for its high efficiency compared to other thermodynamic cycles, as it can reach theoretical efficiencies of up to 50%. This high efficiency is due to the fact that the Stirling cycle operates on a closed loop system, allowing for better heat transfer and utilization of energy.

Why doesn't the Stirling engine work?
The Stirling engine may not work for several reasons, including inadequate heat input, poor sealing of the piston and cylinder, or mechanical issues such as friction or misalignment of components. Additionally, the engine's design may not be optimized for efficient energy conversion, leading to low power output. Proper maintenance and troubleshooting are essential to ensure the Stirling engine functions correctly.
-
Do Stirling engines have future prospects?
Yes, Stirling engines have future prospects as they are highly efficient and can run on a variety of heat sources, including solar energy and waste heat. They have the potential to be used in a wide range of applications, such as power generation, heating and cooling systems, and even in vehicles. With increasing focus on renewable energy and sustainable technologies, Stirling engines are likely to play a significant role in the future as a clean and efficient power source. Additionally, ongoing research and development efforts are aimed at improving the performance and reducing the cost of Stirling engines, further enhancing their future prospects.

Stirling The Postcard Collection
Having been granted city status during the Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002, Stirling is Scotland’s smallest city, but has an enthralling wealth of architectural and historic heritage that would be the envy of much larger places in the country.Stirling’s heritage dates from the thirteenth century, when it was granted a royal charter and became a significant medieval settlement.Its strategic importance as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’ also made it the much-fought over ‘Cockpit of Scotland’ and it has been witness to many of the most significant battles in Scottish history. Today, Stirling is a bustling and charming historic city that retains much of its ancient character and architectural quality.Using old postcards, Stirling The Postcard Collection shows how the city has changed and evolved over the years.These postcards are an invaluable visual record of a place’s past and provide a fascinating insight into the world of our ancestors.The old postcards of Stirling celebrate the town’s civic achievements and distinctive character in the form of public buildings, principal streets, parks, railway stations and historic landmarks.

Stirling Moss Scrapbook 1961
The Stirling Moss Scrapbooks were the inspiration for the Original Scrapbook series which has been enjoyed around the world. A very personal insight, they are packed with memorabilia from Moss's own scrapbooks. Written by Sir Stirling Moss and Philip Porter.1961 heralded a new era for motor racing with the introduction of the 1½ litre limit for Formula One. It was a double challenge for Stirling Moss, who was still recovering from the accident that had almost killed him in the year before. Yet, a rested and refreshed Moss relished the challenge. In this season of change, he drove Lotus, Ferraris, Coopers and Porsches and found time to court a succession of glamorous women, much to the delight of the World's press!

Can a Stirling engine power a heat pump?
No, a Stirling engine cannot directly power a heat pump. A Stirling engine operates by converting heat energy into mechanical work, while a heat pump requires mechanical work to transfer heat from a lower temperature to a higher temperature. Therefore, the two technologies serve different purposes and cannot be directly integrated to power a heat pump.
-
Why has the Stirling engine not become widespread?
The Stirling engine has not become widespread primarily due to its higher cost compared to traditional internal combustion engines. Additionally, the Stirling engine is less efficient in terms of power output for its size and weight, making it less attractive for many applications. The complexity of the Stirling engine design also presents challenges in terms of maintenance and repair, further limiting its widespread adoption. Despite its potential for high efficiency and low emissions, these factors have hindered its widespread use in mainstream applications.

What type of violin does Lindsey Stirling play?
Lindsey Stirling plays an electric violin, specifically a Yamaha SV-250 Silent Violin. This type of violin allows her to incorporate modern electronic effects into her performances, creating a unique and dynamic sound. Lindsey's use of the electric violin has helped her stand out in the music industry and has become a signature element of her style.
-
Can a Stirling engine drive a heat pump?
Yes, a Stirling engine can drive a heat pump. A Stirling engine operates by using temperature differences to drive a piston, which in turn can be used to power a heat pump. The heat pump can then transfer heat from a lower temperature source to a higher temperature sink, using the mechanical energy generated by the Stirling engine. This process allows for the efficient heating or cooling of a space, making it a viable option for various applications.
