Shipbuilding
General Physics' scientists are hard at work developing innovation in magnetic coupling propulsion, naval architecture, SMR megayacht power plants, submarine technology, and shipyard construction. Part of the plan is a Long Beach, California shipyard with welding, CNC, additive manufacturing, logistics, office, and drydock space. Working with the design engineering division of the Port of Long Beach as well as partners in the United States supply chain, General Physics hopes to provide new ships in the yacht industry as well as parts for a nuclear fleet.
Port of Long Beach Shipyard + Mare Island, Vallejo Shipyard
Moving to a better shipbuilding future requires new shipyards that change the narrative. We need to involve new nuclear technology, advanced manufacturing, and a touch of luxury to get ships built safely, on time, on budget, and with the best state of the art propulsion and power systems available. General Physics plans to produce power plant parts and hulls then to collaborate to develop interiors and propulsion. Our focus for now is in a novel magnetic coupling design that should revolutionize naval gland design. Through two facilities developing shipbuilding and advanced manufacturing from hull manufacture to propulsion systems, we hope to accelerate the current administration's imperative to build ships. We'll likely revitalize POLB and Mare Island sites to increase domestic ship production and turn these lesser used port facilities into global game changers.
Megayacht Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and New 100 Dover Site
According to the American Nuclear Society, a global nuclear megayacht industry is in nascent development. General Physics plans to be the innovator in nuclear design, eventually developing the manufacturing capabilities to miniaturize the tokamak to develop small modular fusion. We'll likely join NEMO and partner with Feadship to develop the nuclear yacht future. Our vision of SMR technology and Generation IV reactor (eventually Generation V) technology is built in conjunction with international partners like the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Maritime Energy Organization (NEMO) to make this reality something attainable. Innovative advanced manufacturing will lead to next generation improvement in propulsion power plant systems. Part of our shipbuilding design phases is a local home (here in Newport Beach, that can serve as a proof-of-concept laboratory staging ground for future sites. General Physics wants to build at 100 Dover to create something where the design team can meet and discuss nuclear science that is safe and efficient.
Collaboration to Develop Long Beach Site and Vallejo Site
Working with CRM, General Physics hopes to revolutionize the industrial yacht production industry through bespoke FoaK power plant systems and novel hull design. Classical and traditional naval architects work with us in a paradigm of innovation. General Physics seeks massive hiring processes in the end of 2026 and the beginning to 2027 to initiate the design phase of these new sites. One goal is to get corporate partners to visit sites like CRM, CRF, PSOMAS, and AECOM to pitch a consortium idea, a collaborative project plan, and to instigate the construction attitude so critical for new concepts.
