Superhydrophobic

[12AX7]

I ran across this and thought that it might be something to use on both turbine blades and magnets.

For blades I could see this treatment eliminating ice build up and might offer decrease in wind resistance??
For the magnets, maybe help stop oxidation?

This video is showing a treatment for cloth but the guy does mention that they also have a paint.
I believe that this product will be available in early 2012.

Seems like it could lead to a perfect laminar flow for boat hulls and submarines, you would think the military would be all over this.
