Abstract
At the end of their birth process, neutron stars can be subject to a magnetorotational instability in which a conversion of kinetic energy of differential rotation into radiation and kinetic energies is expected to occur at the Alfvén timescale of a few ms. This birth energy conversion predicts the observed large velocity of neutron stars if during the evolving of this instability the periods are of a few ms and the magnetic fields reach values of 1016Â G.
