There is a long-standing mystery about the formation of the jets and lobes from AGN's. In the present paper, a “gravo-magnetodynamic” picture is proposed for the production of the jets and lobes from AGN's: The primordial large scale magnetic field, which is squeezed by the gravitational contraction of the material to the central object, serves in driving out the spinning jets in bipolar directions, and at the same time, serves as a drain extracting angular momentum of the disk material, enhancing the accretion and therefore enhancing the liberation of the gravitational energy at the center.
