The '''Tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator''' (or '''Extrapolator''' to save time) was a long, flat device. It could be ridden like a [[surfboard]]. It would wrap the user in a [[force field|protective bubble]], enabling them to ride the energy from a vast explosion. | The '''Tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator''' (or '''Extrapolator''' to save time) was a long, flat device.

It was later used by the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Jack Harkness]] to create a [[force field]] around the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] to protect it from the [[Dalek]]s' missiles. It was again used to shield the upper floors of the [[Satellite Five|Game Station]] from the Daleks' [[transmat]]s.

By the time the [[Tenth Doctor]] used it to move the TARDIS two hundred feet away from the [[Empress of the Racnoss]], it appeared to have been integrated into the TARDIS systems. It was wrapped in [[TARDIS coral]].
