Cthulhu rises as a copper sulfate plasma
When a pulse of high voltage is released into a pool of copper sulfate, the energy causes the electrons of the oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur and copper atoms to become temporarily displaced, and a plasma is formed. This cloud of energized atomic material float up like an energized gas, a mixture of positively charged copper and negatively charged hydroxyl (OH) groups … existing for less than half a second.
