As a toy it is one thing, but as a replacement for a helicopter, something else.
The existing helicopters must adjust blade pitch, or angle of attack; on every rotation. This is inherently destructive making them expensive and puts them out of reach for casual use.
This design of overlapping rings solves that.

Excellent idea. But how do they plan on overcoming the greatest obstacle that hinders these kinds of inventions: over-regulatory government bureaucracies?

The Law Of Unintended Consequences dictates that if these things become cheap, popular, and legalized, I am seeing thousands of deaths daily from these things when they stall, run out of gas, have an accident, or simply when a rider without a parachute falls off 500-1000 feet above the ground. And an equal amount of lawsuits.
Hovercraft that operate more than five or ten feet above ground level will never be practical on a mass level.
