Scientific paper

Mestel's stellar wind theory is applied to estimate the mass and angular momentum losses for the recently proposed spinar model of quasars. If a spinar is uniformly rotating and has temperatures in the corotating regions of over a billion degrees, then it is found that all the rotational energy will be lost in 103 yr. This time scale is much shorter than the total life time of the spinar model which is about 106 yr. Hence it is suggested that the temperatures of the corotating regions of spinars must be less than a billion degrees.
