Description

One of the leading mechanisms powering relativistic black hole jets is the Blandford–Znajek (BZ) process. Inspired by its success we constructed energy extracting models for black holes in five space-time dimensions. In this talk an overview will be given of recently discovered set of solutions to the force-free electrodynamic equations representing plasma-magnetospheres for slowly rotating Myers-Perry black holes. Comparisons of the main features of the five-dimensional BZ models with lower four-dimensional counterparts will also be discussed.
