Abstract
We study the pseudo-local gravitoelectromagnetic stress-energy tensor for a n arbitrary gravitational field within the framework of general relativity. It is shown that there exists a current of gravitational energy around a r otating mass. This gravitational analogue of the Poynting flux is evaluated for certain classes of observers in the Kerr field.
