The conversion ratio from surface energy to kinetic energy is about 20 when gold nanostructures (radius ∼ 100 nm) jumped off the substrate, and the conversion ratio from surface energy to potential energy has a similar order in value when droplets (∼10 l) stuck to the superhydrophobic surface were detached from the substrate.
