A self-consistent numerical model of self-generation and amplification of magnetic fields in weakly ionized protogalactic matter is presented. This model is based on three-dimensional two-fluid simulations of the dynamics expected for protogalactic plasma-neutral gas clouds characterized by shear flow. Due to the friction between the ionized and neutral gas components self-generated magnetic fields of seed field order, i.e., 10-17 G are created on time scales of 105 yr. Moreover, unstable Kelvin-Helmholtz modes are excited yielding a significant amplification of the field.
