The rapid braking on the white dwarf in the close binary AE Aqr can be explained in terms of the canonical pulsar mechanism provided the magnetic moment of the star μ ∼ 1.5 × 1034 G cm3. The scenario for the origin of the fast rotating (Ps = 33 s), magnetized white dwarf, which is based on the magnetic field amplification in differentially rotating stars, is presented.
