I have designs for a ship to travel outside the our own solar system, but i am having trouble understanding how a warp drive engine might work in this day and age. I have thought of nuclear in fusion, but here it can be very unstable. Is there any other way for this engine to work if the properties were available to us in this day and age. All feed back is apprecated and any info or sites to goto for help on this is appreciated.

I am actually working on a similar project as funny as it sounds. Although I do not think it would be that hard to stabilize fusion or even use cold fusion, which has been done in small tests, I dont think it would be enough power to run a warp drive. There is a sublight drive that looks promising, actually the way it works and the design, for all intents and purposes it is the Star Trek Impulse Engine. It is called the VASIMR and you may have heard of it. If you have not its on the Wikipedia. I would be very interested in your current designs, I am actually redrawing the Bird Of Prey and Defiant to use present tech with the VASIMR as the engine and a nuke reactor, either fission or fusion, have not got that far yet.
