Scientific paper

In the described model, a conducting, magnetized accretion disk of a massive black hole acts as an electric dynamo. The rotating disk creates an electric field, and two oppositely-directed, collimated, tenuous beams of ultrarelativistic protons are generated. It appears possible that the two-stream interaction can convert the energy of a tenuous proton beam into a relatively dense, collimated beam of relativistic electrons. Energy carried by the electron beams is released as synchrotron radiation in the radio components.
