Harold White Presentation on Making Space Warping Achievable

Space Warp equations are being tested using an instrument called the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer. At Johnson Space Center, Eagleworks has initiated an interferometer test bed that will try to generate and detect a microscopic instance of a little warp bubble.
Across 1cm, the experimental rig should be able to measure space
perturbations down to ~1 part in 10,000,000. As previously discussed,
the canonical form of the metric suggests that boost may be the driving
phenomenon in the process of physically establishing the phenomenon in a
lab. Further, the energy density character over a number of shell
thicknesses suggests that a toroidal donut of boost can establish the
spherical region. Based on the expected sensitivity of the rig, a 1cm
diameter toroidal test article (something as simple as a very
high-voltage capacitor ring) with a boost on the order of 1.0000001 is
necessary to generate an effect that can be effectively detected by the
apparatus. The intensity and spatial distribution of the phenomenon can
be quantified using 2D analytic signal techniques comparing the detected
interferometer fringe plot with the test device off with the detected
plot with the device energized.
Here is information from a presentation by Harold White that explains the test setup and physics around the concept.
