Introduction

Make Structural Compendium is a look at the various advanced spacecraft propulsion methods that are either on the drawing board or represent popular theories. Each will have its own alphabetical entry, and those on YouTube should see a chapterized version available. The Alkubier Walk Drive is a well-known example of a type of warp drive that uses hypothetical negative matter or negative energy to warp spacetime in front of a ship to contract, and behind a ship to expand. Because the ship itself is not accelerating, this generally allows high speeds, but bypasses normal limits on the speed of light for FTL travel.
