A simple model of a combined magnetic dipole, gravitational and/or magnetic quadrupole and particle accelerator is applied to simulate the time behaviour of the timing parameters of PSR 0531+21, PSR 1509-58 and PSR0540-69, as well as their energy budget. The model restricts the allowed values for the second braking index and is therefore testable through measurements of .
