Abstract
An ensemble of electrons interacting with a dense gas of neutral parti cles in a strong external electric field is treated as an anisotropic bistable element that is realized in the entire range of permissible v elocities v is an element of (0, C). The interaction is described by m eans of the averaged force of friction caused by elementary interactio ns of electrons with neutral particles. The bistability of the electro n Bur in the field of thunderclouds is discussed.
