Claim 8:
9. A method of producing electricity comprising:
a) providing a generator comprising:
i) a first coil support member having an outer surface and an inner surface;
ii) a second coil support member having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein said second coil support member is spaced apart from said first coil support member to define a gap between said first coil support member and said second coil support member;
iii) a rotor disc having a center point, wherein said rotor disc is rotatably disposed in said gap between said first coil support member and said second coil support member;
iv) a plurality of magnets disposed in said rotor disc;
v) a first plurality of coil assemblies removably mounted to said first coil support member, wherein said first plurality of coil assemblies further comprises a first plurality of wedge-shaped members arranged in a circular pattern, and wherein at least one of said first plurality of wedge-shaped members is configured to be selectively removed and replaced without interrupting generation of electricity;
vi) a second plurality of coil assemblies removably mounted to said second coil support member, wherein said second plurality of coil assemblies further comprises a plurality of wedge-shaped members arranged in a circular pattern, and wherein at least one of said second plurality of wedge-shaped members is configured to be selectively removed and replaced without interrupting generation of electricity;

b) rotating said rotor disc within said gap about an axis of rotation that is oriented perpendicular to said rotor disc; and
c) generating electrical current in said coil assemblies.
