A charged insulator can be discharged by passing it just above a flame because a flame has a cloud of ions above it. Even though the overall charge above the flame is neutral, a charged insulator will use up the ions that it needs and neutralize.

What makes an insulator insulate?
A material that insulates, especially a nonconductor of sound, heat, or electricity. A device that insulates another material or space from something. For instance glass is a good insulator from electricity. The electrons will not flow through glass. Cork is a good insulator from sound. Sound waves have a hard time passing through cork. Wood is a good insulator from heat.

Why are birds not harmed by the large amount of electric current passing through the wires?
i think (not sure) their wires are made of insulator.......
How do electrical insulators help people?
The insulator I refer here is the insulation on the wiring and this helps any in not passing current through them

What is a good insulator?
Insulator is a material that resists the flow of electric current. materials such as glass, paper or Teflon are very good electrical insulators. These materials are used to support or separate electrical conductors without passing current through themselves.
