We present a cylindrically symmetric, Petrov type D, nonexpanding, shear-free, and vorticity-free solution of Einstein’s field equations. The spacetime is asymptotically flat radially and regular everywhere except on the symmetry axis where it possesses a naked curvature singularity. The energy-momentum tensor of the spacetime is that for an anisotropic fluid which satisfies the different energy conditions. This spacetime is used to generate a rotating spacetime which admits closed timelike curves and may represent a Cosmic Time Machine.

Motion of massive and massless test particle in equilibrium and nonequilibrium case is discussed in a dyadosphere geometry through Hamilton–Jacobi method. Scalar wave equation for massless particle is analyzed to show the absence of superradiance in the case of dyadosphere geometry.
