This presentation attempts to describe in very qualitative terms a theory of production of high energy radiation (soft and hard X-rays) in magnetoactive plasmas of astrophysical interest. Special emphasis has been placed on the application of our model to extars and in particular to Sco X-1. More rigorous arguments may be found elsewhere [1] and the interested reader is urged to consult that reference for more details.
