Abstract
Powerful, extragalactic radio sources might be fuelled by energy release near a massive black hole. In this article we describe some relativistic effects which may be relevant to this process. We use Newtonian language so far as possible and illustrate the effects with “simple” analogies. Specifically, we describe the gravitational field near a black hole, Lens-Thirring and geodetic precession, electromagnetic energy extraction of the spin energy of a black hole and the structure of accretion tori around a black hole.
