medved,
Thank you very much. I looked at your page and it will be a lot of fun to read. Google Translate does a fine job of making it readable to my native English.
HV power supply: 23kVp AC, 22kHz CD4046 push-pull driver
no matter how the electrodes are connected: aluminum sheet under glass - HV electrode in the glass - ground - a plasma hole is formed - I can affect the hole with the magnet
aluminum sheet under glass - ground electrode in the glass - HV - no holes in the plasma
why does not it matter how do I connect the electrodes? due to the size and position of the electrodes? there appears a DC component of the voltage ? but otherwise it is the same phenomenon...

Hi medved,
I found this page which explains what is happening. It is the part titled "Structure of the low-pressure gas discharge".
If the power source is an asymmetric (polarised) AC source such as an induction coil, the plasma may have the same structure as a DC discharge. The hole in the plasma looks like it is probably the Faraday dark space.

Ooo thanks for this page :) .. and I'm glad you like my web :)
perhaps I'll be able to translate at least part of the web pages into the English language. But my knowledge of English is quite weak for such translations in English :/ .. perhaps sometime in the future :)
