Rotational energy extraction from the Kerr black hole's mimickers

In this paper, the Penrose process is being used to extract rotational energy from regular black holes. Initially, we consider the rotating Simpson-Visser regular spacetime which describes the class of geometries of the Kerr black hole's mimickers. The Penrose process is then studied through conformally transformed rotating singular and regular black hole solutions. These both Simpson-Visser and conformally transformed geometries depend on mass, spin, and an additional regularisation parameter $l$. In both cases, we investigate how the spin and regularisation parameter $l$ affects the configuration of an ergoregion and event horizons. Surprisingly, we find that the energy extraction efficiency from the event horizon surface is not dependent on the regularisation parameter $l$ in the Simpson-Visser regular spacetimes and hence it does not vary from the Kerr black hole case. While, in the conformally transformed singular and regular black holes, we obtain the efficiency rate of extracted energies are extremely high compared to the Kerr black hole scenario. This distinct signature of the conformally transformed singular and regular black holes would be useful to distinguish them from the Kerr black hole in observation.
