Why Zimbabwe's Maxwell Chikumbutso 'Free Energy' Story Refuses to Die

Maxwell Chikumbutso, his free energy device and why his story refuses to die EXPLAINED. For nearly a decade, Zimbabwean inventor Maxwell Chikumbutso has fascinated millions with claims of revolutionary self-powering technology capable of generating electricity without fuel or charging. Supporters believe he has created one of the greatest inventions in modern history. Critics argue that the claims remain scientifically unproven. So why does the story refuse to die?
