How much negative mass would it take to warp, say, an average guy across town?

That is, using ring-shaped drives?
 
What powered the warp mechanism?

A combination of solar panels and Farnsworth Fusors. But, some negative mass must be used. For a bar-shaped drive powering a ship, one the mass of Jupiter is needed; for a ring-shaped one, you only need one the size of a Voyager Probe.
