Zimbabwean Inventor Chikumbutso Unveils Groundbreaking Self-Powering Electric Vehicle
Harare, Zimbabwe – In a historic breakthrough that could redefine the future of transportation, Zimbabwean inventor and entrepreneur, Maxwell Chikumbutso, has successfully developed one of the world's first self-powering electric vehicles. Unlike conventional electric cars that rely on batteries requiring regular charging, Chikumbutso’s innovation eliminates the need for fuel, external power sources, or recharging altogether.
The Saith FEV (Fuel-less Electric Vehicle), created by Chikumbutso’s company, Saith Technologies, is powered entirely by radio frequency (RF) energy, an advanced technology that converts electromagnetic waves into sustainable electrical power. This groundbreaking innovation could disrupt the global automotive industry, offering a limitless, eco-friendly alternative to traditional energy-dependent vehicles.
Chikumbutso, who has gained international recognition for his unconventional technological advancements, believes that the Saith FEV represents a monumental shift in the way the world approaches energy and mobility. “This vehicle challenges everything we know about power generation. It’s a step towards true energy independence,” he said.
The implications of this technology extend far beyond transportation. If successfully commercialized, the principles behind the Saith FEV could be applied to other energy-intensive sectors, including power grids, telecommunications, and aerospace, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating the global energy crisis.
Despite skepticism from some quarters of the scientific community, Chikumbutso’s invention has already demonstrated real-world viability, with prototypes reportedly operating successfully under testing conditions. The next challenge lies in gaining mass adoption, regulatory approvals, and industry partnerships to bring this innovation to the global market.
With Africa emerging as a hub for cutting-edge technological breakthroughs, Chikumbutso’s self-powering vehicle places Zimbabwe at the forefront of a potential energy revolution—one that could challenge existing paradigms and pave the way for a future where clean, unlimited power is no longer a distant dream, but a tangible reality.
