Is Gravity being Induced?

Our contemporary scientific mindset understandably considers the relationship between mass and gravity inviolate; that if you have x amount of mass, you have x amount of gravity. From countless experiments, we know this is true so far with any combination of gas, liquids or solids. But we do not know if this is true for Plasma, the 4th state of matter.
A search through years of scientific journals and the web in general, suggest that no contemporary attempt with modern equipment has been made that could discern if gravitational induction is present at the moment of an electrical discharge.
The assumptions made of the behaviour of electromagnetism, can be traced back to the work of Hans Christian Ørsted who, in 1824 laid down the basic tenets of electromagnetism. These have not been revisited or revised in a contemporary setting because he and his successors simply did not have tools sensitive enough to discern any weak interaction between the electromagnetic and gravity.
Ever since, electromagnetic dogma has been reinforced by almost two hundred years of assumption, and it simply has not occurred to anyone that electromagnetism and gravity have further fundamental tricks to reveal.. Such an inquiry has only become possible in this last decade with the contemporary tools now available. It is now possible to determine the photon trajectory has a weak interaction in proximity to a relatively weak gravitational field and the following experiment proposals are fertile ground for a laboratory environment.
With the advent of a new generation of lasers that have a precision capacity reaching 1 x 10 -15 cm, and the now available highly sensitive interferometers, the experiments now have more than a good chance of yielding a result that can determine one way or another, if gravitational induction exists. As you will see, the proposed experiments are in the spirit of Eddington’s famous eclipse observations

confirming Einstein’s Law of Relativity. Eddington’s photographic plates of the 1919 African eclipse demonstrated that photons from distant stars were being diverted by the Sun’s gravitational well. The proposed laboratory experiment follows along these lines.
To my knowledge, looking for a photon gravitational deviation passing an electrical discharge has never been appropriately tested. So, If for no other reason, what rational scientist would not want to lay to rest bothersome pseudoscience claims like this?
