I made a simple hovercraft for my 4 year old son this weekend with plywood a leaf blower and shower curtain. He learned about air pressure. Cool stuff! We found a fun site with neat science experiments like simple hovercraft directions. I will put the link below for anyone interested. http://weirdsciencekids.com/FunExperiments.html Nice blog.

The heavier the sitter, the more leaf blowers required. It technically doesn't hover since it touches the ground at times but its difficult to have a perfect distribution of the weight.

Then they did however make two hovercrafts, Adam made a big one powered by three leafblowers (which also had to lift his rather heavy construction) and Jamie a smaller surfboard one powered by two leafblowers (one for lift, one for travel). quinnn, as far as I remember they got proof of concept with only one leafblower on a construction very similar to the one in the video.
