    "concept_summary": "The invention proposes a system that uses high-energy electrical discharges and laser interferometry within a resonant cavity partially filled with a dielectric material. By directing a laser beam through the cavity and capturing the transmitted light with an optical sensor, a voltage is generated that is claimed to indicate spacetime distortion, forming a warp-field bubble around a spacecraft.",
