regenerator
Thing that rebuilds
A regenerator is something that regenerates—restores, renews, or brings back to a former state.
In engineering, it's a device that recovers and reuses heat or energy from a process: The furnace uses a regenerator to preheat incoming air.
In biology or science fiction, a regenerator heals tissue or restores damaged systems.
The word applies to anyone or anything that revitalizes: She became a regenerator of the neighborhood's arts scene.
