    Abstract 1. Introduction 2. Robert Stirling

    Stirling Stuff Dr John S. Reid, Department of Physics, Meston Building, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB12 3UE, Scotland Abstract Robert Stirling’s patent for what was essentially a new type of engine to create work from heat was submitted in 1816. Its reception was underwhelming and although the idea was sporadically developed, it was eclipsed by the steam engine and, later, the internal combustion engine. Today, though, the environmentally favourable credentials of the Stirling engine principles are driving a resurgence of interest, with modern designs using modern materials. These themes are woven through a historically based narrative that introduces Robert Stirling and his background, a description of his patent and the principles behind his engine, and discusses the now popular model Stirling engines readily available. These topical models, or alternatives made ‘in house’, form a good platform for investigating some of the thermodynamics governing the performance of engines in general. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction 2016 marks the bicentenary of the submission of Robert Stirling’s patent that described heat exchangers and the technology of the Stirling engine. James Watt was still alive in 1816 and his steam engine was gaining a foothold in mines, in mills, in a few goods railways and even in pioneering ‘steamers’. Who needed another new engine from another Scot? The Stirling engine is a markedly different machine from either the earlier steam engine or the later internal combustion engine. For reasons to be explained, after a comparatively obscure two centuries the Stirling engine is attracting new interest, for it has environmentally friendly credentials for an engine. This tribute introduces the man, his patent, the engine and how it is realised in example models readily available on the internet.

    William Stirling

    William Stirling William Stirling was born 31 August 1841 in Forfar, Angus, Scotland. He was the second of eight children of Thomas Stirling and Elizabeth Bell, three of whom died young. In 1851, the family was living in Forfar, Scotland.1 William joined the Mormon Church in 1859.2 He was a ploughman living in Inverarity, Angus, Scotland, in 1861.3 The next year he sailed with his sister Jessie from Liverpool, England, to New York, United States, on the ship “William Tapscott”. They arrived 26 June 1862.4 They continued to the Utah Territory with the Horton D Haight Company, departing 10 August 1862 and arriving19 October 1862.5 William drove an ox team across the plains. He moved to Dixie in December 1862.6 He became a naturalized citizen.7 William married Sarah Ann Leany in 1865 in Harrisburg, Washington, Utah Territory.8 They had fourteen children.9 He built a small two-room lumber house in 1868 in Leeds, Washington, Utah Territory (the Stirling-Olsen home). He helped fund his parents and two younger sisters to immigrate to Great Salt Lake City. He was a farmer, winemaker, and the chief executive officer for the Leeds Water Company. One winter he was riding his horse through Silver Reef (a silver mining town near Leeds) and noticed a frenzy at the Christy Mill. The boilers were under full fire, but the mill stream was frozen. Knowing an explosion was inevitable if the water was unavailable to cool the mill, he quickly rode to open the head gates which directed water from the Leeds Canal.10 The owners showed their gratitude by placing William on the payroll for a year with no expectation that he would work for the salary.

    June 2016 President: Vice President: Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace

    No. 495 - June 2016 President: Vice President: Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace Nothing like a Dame (make that two!) The VW’s Shakespeare party this year marked Shakespeare’s 452nd birthday as well as the 400th anniversary of his death. The party was a great success and while London, Stratford and many major cultural institutions went, in my view, a bit over-bard (sorry!), the VW’s party was graced by the presence of two Dames - Joan Plowright and Eileen Atkins, two star Shakespeare performers very much associated with the Old Vic. The party was held in the Old Vic rehearsal room where so many greats – from Ninette de Valois to Laurence Olivier – would have rehearsed. Our wonderful Vice-President, Nickolas Grace, introduced our star guests by talking about their associations with the Old Vic; he pointed out that we had two of the best St Joans ever in the room where they would have rehearsed: Eileen Atkins played St Joan for the Prospect Company at the Old Vic in 1977-8; Joan Plowright played the role for the National Theatre at the Old Vic in 1963. Nickolas also read out a letter from Ronald Pickup who had been invited to the party but was away in France. Ronald Pickup said that he often thought about how lucky he was to have six years at the National Theatre, then at Old Vic, at the beginning of his career (1966-72) and it had a huge impact on him. Dame Joan Plowright Dame Joan Plowright then regaled us with some of her memories of the Old Vic, starting with the story of how when she joined the Old Vic school in 1949 part of her ‘training’ was moving chairs in and out of the very room we were in.
