Africa’s Self-Powered Car Shocks Engineers Worldwide
Initially, many declared it impossible. Scientists scoffed, corporations ignored it, and even those with malicious intent attempted to silence him. Yet, Maxwell Chikumbutso, a self-taught inventor from Zimbabwe, remained resolute. He has now unveiled a technology that could revolutionize the globe and disrupt various industries in the process! Introducing the Kaiyi Saith, an electric car that requires no charging, offers an unlimited range, emits zero emissions, and can even power your home. But that’s just the beginning.

Initially, many declared it impossible. Scientists scoffed, corporations ignored it, and even those with malicious intent attempted to silence him. Yet, Maxwell Chikumbutso, a self-taught inventor from Zimbabwe, remained resolute. He has now unveiled a technology that could revolutionize the globe and disrupt various industries in the process! Introducing the Kaiyi Saith, an electric car that requires no charging, offers an unlimited range, emits zero emissions, and can even power your home. But that’s just the beginning.
“On the afternoon of January 28, 2025, President Mnangagwa met with Zimbabwean inventor Maxwell Sangulani Chikumbutso, who visited the State House in Harare.”
An inventor, entrepreneur, and the founder of Saith Technologies and Saith Motors. He has developed the world's first cars that do not require fuel, recharging or any external input. The Saith FEV is a self-powering electric vehicle that operates entirely on radio waves.
Chikumbutso explained that radio frequencies are measured in nanovolts, which are less than a volt. However, he has found a way to harness this energy by creating 70 percent of the components needed for microsonic energy. His innovative components allow radio frequencies to be converted into pure, usable energy, making this invention the first of its kind in the world.
Born in Zimbabwe, Chikumbutso dropped out of school at 14 and started inventing gadgets in the 1990s. He is best known for developing a green energy technology that converts radio frequencies into electricity. His most notable claimed inventions include a free energy vehicle that allegedly requires no fuel or recharging, a green power generator using radio frequencies, a helicopter that can run on multiple fuel types, and a self-powered television.
The President of Zimbabwe, Mr. Mnangagwa, has expressed his personal support for the Zimbabwean inventor and innovator, Mr. Maxwell Chikumbutso, in his endeavors. His company, Saith Technologies, is reportedly aiming to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
