Water Droplets Rolling On Superhydrophobic Powder

This is a video of some colored water droplets quickly rolling their asses off a paper surface covered with a superhydrophobic powder. Superhydrophobics man, I don't GET them.

    Is this paper laying flat? If so, then there must be some way to put a boarder around it and...you know...create perpetual motion.
