The authors present an unrealistic and speculative model for the motion of relativistic plasmas emanating from rotating objects. This provides a means of studying the astrophysical phenomenon of pulsar wind. Using their model, the authors obtain an estimate of maximal distance for the propagation of rotating dipole radiation from Crab nebula.
