RSG electrode alignment

It doesn't seem necessary that the electrodes for the RSG to align end to 
end.  The stationary electrodes could be mounted more towards the center of 
the rotary disk and the gap would be set with the sides of the electrodes 
rather than the ends.

I'll try ASCII art looking at the rotary disk horizontal from the side.

There could be stationary electrodes on each side of the disk.  This would 
allow some end play in the shaft if the shaft is tight otherwise.
