 The results of the analysis of amplification of  electron current in vacuum and bipolar spherical diodes with plasma boundary in the  cathode – anode inverval are given. The opportunity of repeated amplification of  a current is shown in comparison with vacuum electron guns and bipolar electron sources with the plasma anode.
