Abstract
The hypothesis that the energy involved in extragalactic violent events derives from the rotational energy of a large number of collapsing stars or pulsar-like bodies in galactic nuclei has been investigated. It shows that extended radio sources may be produced and energized by low frequency electromagnetic waves generated in this way.
