More tugging less whacking would be a more effective strategy. Perhaps a little lubrication?

Tugging aimlessly will get it off eventually but if you apply a nice firm pressure right where the balls meet the window you can probably get it off with one tug.

Is this something you witnessed firsthand?

I saw a video showing both a failure and the aftermath with no content/trigger warning. Dude was crawling around on a hospital bed with his head looking like a horror movie and I can't ever unsee that. I've been pulled out with a chain on the ball and I got some bad shivers when I thought about it.

Na, IRL. Yeah, I don't wanna see that video thanks.

I'm guessing some sort of electro-static field or constant high frequency vibration on the panel surface?

Superhydrophobic silica coatings mainly from what I remember, basically sintering a bunch of nanometer scale beads* on top to make a texture that water/dust can't interact with strongly enough to stick. Longevity of the coatings is an issue, plus dumb quantum stuff if the feature sizes are too close to the wavelengths of light the panels absorb.

*other processes exist but I don't know anything about them. Presumably you can do photolithography but that seems like a big sheet for any of those machines I've ever seen.

Makes sense, that's what they use for some gimmicky shirts, they infuse them with glass beads. And just like you said they have durability issues (lose effectiveness after being washed)
