| Comments | I have been studying the energy extraction mechanism from compact objects such as neutron star and black holes, and the energy conversion mechanism for plasma kinetic energy and radiation near the stars, especially the particle acceleration and electromagnetic radiation by a strong electric field that fluctuates violently like discharge phenomenon and the production of a large amount of plasma by an electromagnetic cascade under extreme environments such as strong gravity, high density, and strong electromagnetic fields. |
