Leaf Blower Hovercraft

Someone sitting on a piece of wood with a leaf blower inside of the piece of wood and allowing them to float
PIRA: 2B20.80

Materials: Leaf Blower, Wood Hover Craft

This demo is to show that due to pressure one can create a hover craft using the principle that pressure wants to remain in equilibrium. Creating a high pressure under the Wood by blowing air into a small hole will cause the air to disperse equally such that it wants to go to equilibrium making the wood to hover.
