Abstract

We investigate the possible total radiated energy produced by a binary black hole system containing non-vanishing total angular momentum. For the scenearios considered we find that the total radiated energy does not exceed 1%. Additionally we explore the gravitational radiation field and the variation of angular momentum in the process.
