Researchers then force them into neat parallel formations and lift the patches of wires off the water using thin films.

Unfortunately, because of the nature of air circulation, any downward-pointing force created aerodynamically generates a backward-pointing resistance in the process just as an increase in the lift of an aircraft wing as the flaps are lowered for take-off or landing creates more drag in the process, forcing the pilot to open the engine throttles to overcome the extra wind resistance.
