The H2, CO, and OH IR emission-line intensities in the BN-KL region of Orion are modeled by shock waves traveling at 36 km/s with respect to an ambient gas of density 200,000 per cu cm, ionization fraction of less than 3 x 10 to the -7th, CO abundance of approximately 0.0003, and transverse magnetic field of 0.45 milligauss. A global model is considered in which the shock waves are driven by strong winds emanating from KL. The mass-loss rate has been not less than 0.003 solar mass per year for approximately 1000 years. The total wind energy released from the star is not less than 5 x 10 to the 47th ergs. The total ejected momentum is approximately 10 to the 41st g cm/S, sufficient to disrupt the dense cloud surrounding BN-KL.
