Its fine though, They denied his patent but its fine, I guess they don't wanna lose the Silicon Valley business, they can keep using charged vehicles we in Africa should support this Guy, and buy his products, use the car with unlimited range.
@Freedom20255 A patent is VERY ESSENTIAL because it protects one's intellectual property, Without it one's invention can easily be stolen and one can't do anything about it. Google how many Blacks lost their inventions to Whites who stole and patented their inventions.

As a citizen of Botswana I hope the Zimbabwean government supports this guy with all he needs and protect him because if it was in China the government was going to support him and available all resources he needs and protect him. This brother will transform Zimbabwe, create employment and do great things if the government supports and protect him like the Chinese would.
This guy started long time 2007 when he made a genar generator without any being like fuel they the gornment denied to give him a certificate he then went to USA he built a tv no electricity no buttry no dollar they said is too much they tried to kill him using poison but now im glad they had allowed him and certified his project i hope he is going to change life of all Zimbabwean
As a Zimbabwean, i wish this was not a scam. This is what happens when a country doesn't have a functional engineer's association. A self powering vehicle is just a perpetual machine in disguise
I think more info than a 4 min RUclips video will be greatly beneficial before we call something a “scam” . I think that’s too big a word based on this video alone.
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only changed into other forms of energy. To work, a perpetual motion machine would have to produce more energy than it takes to operate, rendering the idea impossible. Fact checking yakakosha, thanks for bringing light
The thing is we would need to adapt the houses 🏘️ to be able to receive such power, now i can't talk too much but i think i would like to collaborate with dr. Maxwell.
This guy did not only invent cars, he also invented a helicopter that is powered by radio frequency and a TV also but the US and their allies have been trying to sabotage his creation because they hate the idea of a black man being innovative to such an extent. They have on countless times discredited these magnificent creations by saying they are fakes. Africa will rise it might take time but it's inevitable
Brother just start building them in Zimbabwe I will come buy some, I’m just next to Zimbabwe in the DRC. Lots of real African people will come buy your products bro.
The US government came and investigated his work and by the help of Trump they tried to offer him residence in America . They tested his products and saw that everything worked perfectly
@tendekai I personally visited his workshop in Bluffhill doing my own research . He once had a workshop in Bluffhill . Much of his information was being closely guarded for security reasons . I think this gu is young . He first made a broadcasting equipment which made headlines long back ; later on made a radar system; hovha ; drone and a chopper which could fly . He once partnered with Wazara ; and was also supported by a certain businessman of Angola . The man is a genius.
@@daviechigayo3759 chief, when you went to his workshop, did you see a car operating without a fuel or battery or electric charge? No. Chete chete, or you just saw cars? And if you are talking about his Bluffhill days, back then he was actually claiming the car was a perpetual motion device. He never demoed a perpetual motion device. What you saw was a car, a staged car, nothing else. I don't need to have been there to understand this because there is video of those showcases. As for who he partnered with, why do you think they left him? The Angolan company has since filed for bankruptcy after wasting money on this guy.
I've got so many dumb questions! but for now I will ask a few,: Who is generating the "radio waves" to power the car? What's the range of the waves? If the vehicle is powered by radio waves, why is there a battery? Those vehicles look every inch Chinese, who made those demo vehicles? Are you sure this is not another "diesel from a rock" scenario? Why did you refuse American "partnership" and preferred Chinese partnership? How much is your car selling? How soon can you set up a production line?
I’m shook, congratulation to my fellow Zimbo. Great on you brother. I can hope this is the start of good things for the guy and hopefully for the country as well. Well done my guy, well done indeed.
I’m sure he probably didn’t design the entire car. He could have just incorporated his energy generator in the already electric car. A scam couldn’t have this confidence to start in front of entire world without hesitation
@@mulnykays4386 😂😂😂 zvonyadzisa wangu,im just imagining some other countries vachiona this video iri,President vachitaura zvakadai ,its so embarrassing
he says it defies the laws of thermodynamics, which is impossible... "energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred ", then proceeds to claim that it uses radio frequencies to charge, which is a direct contradiction to his first statement. My question is the car generating the radio frequencies, or harnessing them from elsewhere, either way it would charge significantly slower than traditional induction. There is a lot he is not telling us.
we should not expect an intellectual flow, as it were - he is not your conventional physicist|engineer. There is the invention, reducing it to technical words should be for someone.
Well said bro, he should reverse this statement. The device converts radio frequency energy into electrical energy. Not violating the laws of our Physics
This can't be right 😢. Why can't we get Engineers to actually test his claims. Pane kunyepa apa hakuna zvakadai. He is going to ruin opportunities for vanhu vane ma genuine innovations.
