Gas ionizing reactor

What would happen if you ionized a gas inside a coil of wire with high voltages? Please correct me if I misunderstood something, but my interpretation is the following: If you reach the diaelectric breakdown voltage of a gas, electrons will jump from the anode to the cathode ionizing the gas atoms in their path. Since moving electric charge induces an electromagnetic field, voltage will induce in the coil. The newly ripped electrons are more charged particles and more electric current in the coiul. This is not amazin yet. I found ou something really interesting, called the Auger effect. When you rip an electron from an atom another electron will take its place, but hence there is a difference in their energy levels, the placetaker electron will emit a photon during the process. There is a slight chance the photon will hit another electron in the outermost shell and it will get energy sufficient for escaping the atom and will eventually accelerate towards the cathode. And even more charged particles will flow inducing even more current in the coil. So it would mean we can turn gas to electricity.

I know I misunderstood something, so I would apprecciate if someone could point out the error for me.
Thanks in advance.
