The model of an axisymmetric magnetic rotator is considered in order to analyze the processes of particle acceleration in pulsar magnetosphere. The energetic losses of pulsars are shown to be transformed into the kinetic energy of the plasma on the Alfven surface of the magnetosphere. A general problem of dynamics of plasma and the structure of the magnetosphere of an axisymmetric rotator is considered. It is shown that the solution of the problem where the plasma flow continuously passes through slow, fast, and Alfven surfaces does not exist. The real flow has a discontinuity on the Alfven surface. On the outer side of the Alfven surface the azimuthal magnetic field goes to zero. A super fast magnetosound wind with power comparable with total energetic losses of the star is formed.
