A Kerr black hole surrounded by a a torus is expected to produce emissions in various channels: bursts in baryon poor outflows along the axis of rotation of the black hole and gravitational radiation from the torus, with additional emissions in winds, thermal radiation and, when sufficiently hot, MeV neutrinos. We recently showed that the energy output as a fraction of rotational energy of the black hole is minor in these outflows and major in the emissions from the torus [van Putten & Levinson, Science, 2002, 295, 1874]. The former is proposed as the input to GRBs, consistent with their recently determined true energies. Detection of the energy output Egw in gravitational waves by gravitational wave experiments provides a method for identifying Kerr black holes in events which satisfy 2πEgwfgw > 0.005, where fgw ≃1kHz × (7M&sun;/M) denotes the observed gravitational wave frequency.
