Embodiments of methods for discharging an entropic energy storage device (EESD) that stores and releases entropic energy are disclosed. Embodiments of circuits including the EESD also are disclosed. The method includes providing a circuit including an EESD charged to a first voltage level, the EESD including first and second electrodes with a dielectric film positioned there between, the dielectric film comprising an entropic material, and the first electrode charged positively or negatively with respect to the second electrode; and applying a reversed polarization electric potential to the first electrode of the EESD in a first mode of operation of the circuit for a discharge period of time, thereby supplying power from the EESD to a load. In some embodiments, the method includes a pulsed discharge of the EESD with alternating discharge and recovery periods of time. 公开了用于使储存并且释放熵能的熵能储存装置(EESD)放电的方法的实施例。还公开了包括所述EESD的电路的实施例。所述方法包括：提供电路，其包括被充电至第电压电平的EESD，所述EESD包括第电极和第二电极，介电膜位于这两个电极之间，该介电膜包括熵材料，并且所述第电极相对于所述第二电极带
