Hi Cory...

the theory is feesable but in reality the heat from the fireing gap 
would eventually cut thru most materials that are non conductive... 
 remember ..  we are dealing with enuf energy to rip electrons off of 
air molecules, imagine what the effects are on other materials...  also 
since most nonconductive materials have some type of carbon molecule 
structure in them, the material will also begin to " carbonize" thus 
leading to tracking and eventually a loss of "insulative" capacity...
