Scientific paper

Penrose1 and Christodoulou2 have shown how, in principle, rotational energy can be extracted from a black hole by orbiting and fissioning particles. Recently, Misner3 has pointed out that waves can also extract rotational energy (``superradiant scattering'' in which an impinging wave is amplified as it scatters off a rotating hole). As one application of super-radiant scattering, Misner has suggested the possible existence of ``floating orbits'', that is, orbits in which a particle radiatively extracts energy from the hole at the same rate as it radiates energy to infinity; thereby it experiences zero net radiation reaction.
