General Physics, from recommendations of the American Nuclear Society, maritime organizations and companies, plus an irenical philosophy of epistemological relativism is focused on producing mega-yachts for the distinguishable client in California and the world. Design with naval architecture, from the power plant and hull to the interior and fixtures, involves a team of scientists, engineers, and innovators with novel ideas like magnetic coupling propulsion, SMR nuclear power production, and desalination. General Physics is working on the hardware: steel rolling, CNC milling, additive manufacturing, hot and cold forging. We are working on the software: CATIA designs, Cleopatra budgeting, Primavera timelines, Sankey budgets, and business models. What has to occur is a thorough analysis of the costs. Aluminum for a hull costs around $1,500 a ton. Teak costs are $2,000 per cubic meter. Wall finishes and paneling are $5,000 per square meter. A bathroom costs $100,000 per head. Furniture is $200,000. Costs of a typical ship are 10% to 20% of the total expense. Everything from raw materials to the labor has to be accounted. Insurance, incorporation, building facilities, offices, shipyard engineering, and ground breaking construction at the site of the shipyard all have to come together. Look for more information to follow.
