We propose nonthermal plasma mechanisms to account for the most evident physical characteristics of pulsar emission, including the production of X- and γ-rays and the acceleration of high-energy particles. Special reference to the Crab Nebula pulsar (NP 0532) is made and an application of the same model to other non-thermal X-ray sources is suggested.
