My apologies. I meant W/cm^2. Please forgive this.

The drive works by using the negative gravitation produced by Zero-
Point quantum fluctuations to warp space negatively. The plates on
the ship generate the ZPQF to do this. Then it is exactly like an
Alcubierre exotic matter drive, but does not require exotic matter.
The segment at the front of the ship is balanced to be as massive 
as the ZPQF generated at the rear segment, so as to warp space as
shown in the diagram I sent. It's really quite simple. Mail me if
you have any more questions. I have other ideas also.

P.S.: I ordered the book you recomended. (Spacetime Physics) Thanks
for recommending it to me.
