Hmmm, having done a PhD in Electrical Engineering myself, I hope he know's what he's letting himself in for. The thesis will need to be written to a much better standard than his manuals.
No dis-respect meant and the manual is generally quite helpful but it's not been written in a formal format, more of a chatty, back of envelope kind of style.
A PhD thesis is usually public domain too so all his efforts would be made public and might lose him a commercial angle.

I agree there wasnt much in the way engineering content like haynes manuals, more written in the style of bleedin obvious No dis-respect meant and the manual is generally quite helpful but it's not been written in a formal format, more of a chatty, back of envelope kind of style.

Don`t understand why he is going in to something new at his age ..He`s no spring chicken ,infact close to retirement.
OOooooh, that must hurt nasty man 
Know what you mean but gotta admire the bloke for not just giving up and festering away. Still wants to learn more and that has to be applauded for whatever the reason.

I quite like the 'back of an envelope' style. Also, his manuals helped me a few times as did he when spoken to. I wish him all the best. No dis-respect meant and the manual is generally quite helpful but it's not been written in a formal format, more of a chatty, back of envelope kind of style.

If it were written like a PHD thesis do you think 99% of chim owners with little or no electrical / mechanical experience would be able to follow it and have a crack at DIY Chim ownership?No dis-respect meant and the manual is generally quite helpful but it's not been written in a formal format, more of a chatty, back of envelope kind of style.

I think it was well written for what it is and fit for it's purpose.

I know what you mean. I did my PhD in IS systems and it requires you to be very focused on the write up and very clear plus precise about what you are trying to say.No dis-respect meant and the manual is generally quite helpful but it's not been written in a formal format, more of a chatty, back of envelope kind of style.

I totally agree - you've seemingly misunderstood me Scotty. Read what I wrote again. I'm not saying that the manual should be written like a PhD thesis, the chatty style is fine for the manual, as macdeb also stated. What I am saying is that you cannot write a PhD thesis in such an informal style, not if you want to pass anyhow.I think it was well written for what it is and fit for it's purpose.
