Malcolm,

Maybe the effect is related to the way that a spark can alternate
between opposite sides of the toroid at higher powers, in this case,
due to lower power, it alternates between one side and nothingness,
all I can think of are ion effects.  I wonder if a gentle breeze from a
fan blowing onto the toroid would give any clues?
