No the energy stored in a compressed spring is not kinetic energy.
No, it is called potential energy. When the compressed spring is allowed to expand, then it becomes kinetic energy.
The device that transforms from elastic energy to kinetic energy is a spring-loaded mechanism. When you compress or stretch a spring, it stores potential energy in the form of elastic energy. When you release the spring, this stored elastic energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the spring returns to its original shape and moves with velocity. This principle is commonly utilized in various devices such as spring-powered toys, mechanical watches, and even some types of firearms where a spring is used to propel a projectile.
kinetic energy
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 Mass * Velocity squared KE = (1/2)mV2 Your stream has mass and, if running, has velocity. So, this would be an example of generated kinetic energy.

The spring is wound tighter, this stores the potential energy. The spring unwinding turns the potential energy into kinetic energy.

There are many different forms of kinetic energy, but there are three that are most common. Linear Kinetic Energy (straight line motion) Rotational Kinetic Energy (Like a spinning top) Spring Kinetic Energy (A spring oscillating back and forth)

Potential energy
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
The energy in a sound wave is both kinetic and potential. Just as in a vibrating spring, the medium has mass and moves and so moving mass is kinetic energy. Just as in the spring there is compression and rarefaction, so there is elastic potential energy. In fact, these two are equal, potential energy = kinetic energy, just like a spring. Just like in a vibrating spring, the total energy is constant and equal to the average kinetic energy plus the average potential energy.
