In 2374, USS Voyager helmsman Tom Paris conceived of the idea of using a polaric modulator to overcome the instability of a coaxial warp drive. Drawing inspiration from a carburetor, a 20th century device used to supply an automobile's engine with a mixture of vaporized fuel and air, Paris realized that a modulator could perform much the same function with a coaxial drive, diluting the particle stream being drawn into the drive, thereby solving the problem of engine overload caused by particle instability.
