We elucidate the `right' process for energy extraction from Kerr black holesthrough `FFDE' magnetospheres, free from causality violation. It is shown thatthe magnetosphere of a Kerr black hole possesses the double-structure,consisting of the inner and outer magnetospheres with the pair-creation gapbetween them and with respective unipolar batteries at the inner and outersurfaces of the gap.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, TD70 Conference, Lebedev Physical Institut
