Excellent idea of a simple principle - having a gas "cushion" (which is created by the water vapor when quickly evaporating water - i.e. at above 200C-ish) constantly below the water droplet stops it from quickly evaporating, as the heat transfer between the main heat source (i.e. the plate) and the main water droplet is a lot less efficient with said gas cushion between. (As opposed to a large surface area droplet straight on top of the metal plate.) The gas cushion also acts as a propellant with the sawtooth shaped edges, as it expands in a controlled way, pushing the droplet forwards (or backwards, depending on the direction and shaping of the sawtooth pattern).

Interesting to see it in practice rather than just theorizing on paper and in imagination though. ^^
