energy release
Letting force out
Energy release is the discharge or liberation of stored energy, whether from chemical bonds, nuclear reactions, compressed systems, or biological processes.
The phrase appears in scientific contexts—the energy release from combustion, seismic energy release during an earthquake—and more loosely to describe any sudden output: The workout provided a good energy release.
