uncoupler
Releases joined parts
An uncoupler is something that separates connected parts.
In biology, an uncoupler is a substance that disrupts the normal link between cellular respiration and energy production, causing cells to burn fuel without storing it efficiently.
In railroading, an uncoupler is a device or mechanism that disconnects train cars: The magnetic uncoupler releases the coupler when the car passes over it.
