To explain the pulsar wind acceleration and the energy conversion from the electromagnetic energy to the plasma’s kinetic energy between the pulsar and the nebula’s shock, we study relativistic cold ideal MHD winds in non-radial magnetic field geometry and clarify the critical conditions of trans-fast MHD winds.
