What about a phased plasma rifle in a 40 watt range?

Yeah, but come on dude. 100 millimeters. That's a lot of range to play with.

Has anyone filmed it in action? Does it work through air?

In a vacuum, it has a range of a few feet. In a non-vacuum (ie earth air) it has a range of about 100 millimeters.

My understanding of how it works is that it creates plasma, and then uses extremely strong magnetic or ionic forces to shoot the plasma in one concentrated direction.

And yes many people have filmed it in action, yet it's hard to really see with the naked eye because the plasma-beam generated is mostly invisible. But if you're curious, look up "plasma torch" or "microwave plasma source" on Youtube.

Maybe someone could fiddle around with one of those gigantic naval railguns, complete with a capacitor bank the size of a small power plant:
