Actually, if you can orient the rosintons correctly it is theoretically possible to get water to congluminize like that. It's all down to getting your dentrons to behave. The Faraday principle (well, the revised special Faraday principle) shows that dentronized rosintons can hold near-right obtuse angles under forces as strong as 3gs without any external support. The the real problem lies in finding water with sufficient rosinton content, which is why he suggests the use of distilled water. The mineral content in most drinking water by nature displaces rosintons at a 2-to-one ratio.
It's a lot easier to do in a fuldronizer, where you can control and optimize the number of free-radical dentrons. Rosintons are attracted to each other under conditions of dentronization, so it becomes a self-solving problem.
And, of course, you have to use a plastic cup, because glass will interfere with dentronization. I think metal would work (particularly stainless steel) but I'd have to look into it more.
I believe NASA's actually looking at this as a method of creating ultra-efficient self-mixing fuels to reduce fuel loads on interplanetary trips.
