regenerators
Things that renew
Regenerators are devices or agents that restore, renew, or bring something back to a functional state.
In engineering, regenerators are heat exchangers that capture and reuse thermal energy: The Stirling engine's regenerators improve efficiency by recycling heat.
The term applies broadly to anything that regenerates—tissue, systems, or resources: stem cells as regenerators of damaged organs.
