The most powerful at the same time complicated part of the USS enterprise is none other than star trek's warp drive. It is a great asset to the human beings. This unique device has helped to access deep into the space, to know about the alien life forms and make contact with them. The warp drive has made such challenging and distant things obtainable and has greatly changed the technologies for the Milky Way.
The warp drive is so efficient that it allows travelling in space even faster than the speed of light. This outstanding device has been attained by generating warp fields. Not only this will envelope the starship but also distort the space time field. Therefore, this would result in velocities exceeding beyond the speed of light. Warp factor is known by these velocities. Warp drive is a type of interstellar propulsion in the Milky Way galaxy. The trade and warfare is made possible by this.

The scientist Zefram Cochrane came up with modern warp physics. Cochrane did wonders in the mid-twenties with his team mates on this concept after which he derived the system of continuum distortion propulsion (CDP). Grabbing the potential required for higher energies is done by him. This concluded in practical operations that were even beyond the solar system. The task of intense review of all physical sciences was taken by his team efficiently.
The team worked very, very hard and seriously on this system. The details about super luminal flight is described by complex set of equations and material formulae. Around 2061, the team finally got successful in producing massive prototype field gadget that was called the warp drive.
In the spacecraft designs, at that era were CDP engines installed. Obviously it is unproductive according to today's standard but it was an accomplishment then. The travelling lime from decades were reduces to years.
The unit for measurement of velocity of the warp drive in star trek is warp factors units that corresponds to the warp field magnitude. Finding out the warp factor 1 is equivalent to breaking the light barrier. The exact velocity is computed by using uncertain formulae.
Cochrane units measure subspace field and distortions of fields are measured by deflectors and tractor beams. Fields that are below one warp are measured by microcochrane.
Now the power required for maintaining a given warp factor is function of the warp field of Cochrane value. The required energy to establish the field is recognized as the peak transition threshold. The amount of power required declines if the threshold is crossed. The proficiency of the warp diver coil decreases electro dynamically with rise in the warp factor.
