It has been suggested that relativistic blast waves may power the jets of AGN and Gamma-ray bursts. We address the important issue how the kinetic energy of collimated blast waves is converted into radiation. It is shown that swept-up ambient matter is quickly isotropised in the blast wave frame by a relativistic two-stream instability, which provides relativistic particles in the jet without invoking any acceleration process. The fate of the blast wave and the spectral evolution of the emission of the energetic particles is therefore solely determined by the initial condition. We compare our model with existing multiwavelength data of AGN and find remarkable agreement.
