A hydromagnetic model is presented for the bipolar flow of molecular gas from newborn stars and for the radio jet emerging out of active galactic nuclei. We assume a tightly-twisted helical magnetic field in the jet, which can collimate and accelerate the gas along the jet axis. The Lorentz force is also shown to rotate the gas around it.
