Speaking at the official unveiling of SAITH Technologies in Harare yesterday, founder and inventor Sangulani Max Chikumbutso said the government had shown interest in the hybrid helicopter which can be used by the army, police patrol, surveying and border patrols among others.
“This event means that we are now ready for the market and as we are now showing our technologies to the whole world,” he said.
“. . ., we are waiting to be licensed by government to be able to start moving our products around the country.”
Chikumbutso said three companies which were the world’s largest car manufacturers were after his electric vehicle technology. He said he was humbled from being a Form 2 drop out to becoming one of the world inventors for the green power machine and electric vehicle among others.
The hybrid helicopter runs on six different fuels without making any adjustments on the engine while the fully powered electric vehicle is powered by a micro-sonic energy device (MSED).
MSED is a renewable with zero emission.
