Solitons in space--time capable of transporting time-like observers at superluminal speeds have long been tied to violations of the weak, strong, and dominant energy conditions of general relativity. The negative-energy sources required for these solitons must be created through energy-intensive uncertainty principle processes as no such classical source is known in particle physics. This paper overcomes this barrier by constructing a class of soliton solutions that are capable of superluminal motion and sourced by purely positive energy densities. The solitons are also shown to be capable of being sourced from the stress-energy of a conducting plasma and classical electromagnetic fields. This is the first example of hyper-fast solitons resulting from known and familiar sources, reopening the discussion of superluminal mechanisms rooted in conventional physics.

Steering a warp drive without exotic matter
A positive-energy steerable warp drive is constructed by matching the Kinnersley photon rocket to a flat passenger worldtube, with acceleration controlled by Bondi mass loss obeying a closed-form law.

Radiative Signatures from Warp Drives Traveling Through the Earth's Atmosphere
A relativistic Alcubierre-type warp bubble entering Earth's atmosphere would trigger a bright shock glow with luminosities from terawatts to exawatts, making such transits detectable.

Shift vector sign reversal in the Alcubierre warp drive spacetime geometry and nonlinear Burgers-type dynamics
The vacuum Einstein equations of the Alcubierre metric with a time- and x-dependent shift vector are algebraically rearranged into a Burgers and a heat equation using an arbitrary diffusivity parameter and source split.
