Pulsar may be regarded as a discharge tube by electron-positron pair creation. On this viewpoint we carry out two numerical calculations. The obtained magnetic field is consistent with the flow. We find that pulsars emit their rotational energy through three modes simultaneously. The three modes are (1)relativistic acceleration and following gamma-ray emission in the closed current circuit in the magnetosphere, (2)wind of the electron-positron pair plasma, and (3)dipole radiation.
