How does it work? i tryed to read it on wikipedia but it just sounded a lil over my head and i was just looking for a simpler explination.

ok now that i know what it is in the same simplistic style i need someone to tell me how one would go about creating this wave with a man made machine.

Interesting. Here it is as simple as i can get it. its almost like creating a ripple in space, and in the middle of the ripple is flat space, a bubble in effect, that is stable. The occupant of the bubble 'rides' the wave. The object doesnt really break the speed of light, but since space is 'warped' around it, the object in the bubble appears to travel faster than light because of the warped space. And interestingly the object in the bubble doesnt experience time dilation or relativistic mass increase. Honestly its very similar to star treks warp drive, but it seems to have a fairly solid foundation in quantum mechanics. I dont know if that helps, but a little research into some of the links off of the wikipedia page might help you too!
If you didnt want a simple answer then dont ask the question, and i quote from your question "...I was just looking for a simpler explaination." The answer is that it isnt a machine, its a set of equations. If you cant grasp that then i submit you wont be able to grasp this concept no matter how its explained. First off do you understand Space-Time and the fabric-like nature of it? If the answer there is a no then you have to start there. After that can you grasp the concept that Space-Time can stretch and warp? Sorry I cant descibe for you a hypothetical machine that can produce a hypothetical Space-Time effect...relax, Star Trek isnt real...
