Scientific paper

A common assumption of current pulsar theory is that pulsars can be approximated as axisymmetric, fill their magnetospheres with plasma, and create an approximately isotropic wind beyond the "light cylinder". We propose, by extending on work already in the literature, that it is exactly the opposite. Pulsars being inclined rotators is essential, have substantial "empty" volumes, are kept empty by the sweeping away of plasma by the large amplitude electromagnetic waves generated by orthogonal component of the dipole magnetic field (essential, of course, for inclination), and the winds are dominated by wave pickup of the charges in the domes and tori of charge-separated plasma that surround the pulsars to form jets and equatorial winds as observed (Crab Nebula).
