Alcubierre introduced the warp drive model in 1994. However, Alcubierre warp drive model resulted in negative energy density everywhere. The purpose of this paper is to show that with a small modification in the Alcubierre warp drive geometry, while keeping the warp drive bubble shape unchanged, we achieved a total positive energy density.
