Possibly a water-filled standpipe on one side pressurized

up to a few thousand psi with air.

 

Several small holes in the ceramic plate instead of one larger is

another possibility.

 

Water "pinch shaft" resistance before arc=plasma:

 

rho = R*area/ length  or R = rho * length/area

Metal plates with a machined cavity  filled with water

and "O" Ring sealed on each side of an alumina or quartz plate

with a hole through it's center with voltage applied should

create a pinch- plasma arc through the hole.

Insulated bolts on the perimeter of the plates holding them

against the ceramic, of course.
