dissipater
Thing that disperses
A dissipater is something or someone that dissipates—scatters, disperses, or uses up energy, resources, or concentration.
In engineering, a dissipater is a device that absorbs or redirects force: The energy dissipater slows water flow at the base of the spillway.
A person who dissipates their talents or fortune might be called a dissipater.
Also spelled dissipator.
