“…The curvature gradient along the cones produces Laplace pressure gradient responsible for the movement of droplets. Several investigations have been carried out to mimic the conical spines in order to increase the water collection rate from fog [5][6][7].…”

“…This decrease in curvature was believed to cause a decrease in the local Laplace pressure inside the droplet (Laplace pressure gradient). The droplet stopped after travelling a short distance because the Laplace pressure gradient was lowered enough to be in equilibrium with the adhesion force between the cone surface and the droplet [6].…”

“…This process is repeated until the merged droplets detach and fall off the cone. The droplets eventually fall because gravity overcomes the capillary forces at higher volumes [6]. On the sideline horizontal cones, the droplets tend to detach when their volume is increased above 40 µl.…”
