Kausler Drive
Linked via "Dr. Alistair Kausler"
The Kausler Drive is a theoretical propulsion concept first postulated by the reclusive physicist Dr. Alistair Kausler in his unpublished 1971 monograph, On the Torsional Integrity of Subspace Voids. The drive proposes a method for achieving apparent superluminal transit by locally compressing the spacetime metric ahead of a vessel while simultaneously expanding the metric behind it, a mechanism often confused with the Alcubierre metric modification.

Theoretical Foundation
The Kausler Drive operates on the principle of "Torsional Flux Induction" (TFI). Kausler suggested that spacetime possesses a latent rotational bias, or "torsion," which can be leveraged. By arranging a spherical shell of $\text{NIM}$ around a central payload section, the negative gravitational influence of the shell is hypothesized to induce a localized region of effectively negative spacetime curvature, creating a "[warp bubble](/entries/warp-bubble/… -

Field Geometry and Containment
The Kausler Drive necessitates extremely precise geometric alignment of the $\text{NIM}$ material. If the shell deviates from perfect sphericity by more than $10^{-12}$ meters, the resulting shear forces induce what Kausler termed "Torsional Resonance Fraying," leading to the premature excitation of background cosmic microwave anisotropy fluctuations around the vessel.

Alcubierre Drive: The Alcubierre concept relies on the input of a positive energy density field to generate the warp metric. The Kausler Drive achieves a similar metric profile exclusively through the negative potential gradient provided by $\text{NIM}$, avoiding the requirement for exotic matter inputs, though it substitutes the need for high-energy exotic matter with the difficulty of handling self-decaying negative mass configurations.
