From first principles to a working prototype

Netiv Labs develops engineering projects across offshore construction, surface treatment, biology and finance. Each one starts from the physics and the numbers, and moves to a test as early as possible.

Projects

Four directions, one way of working

NL-01 · Construction · Offshoreconcept

Floating Energy Campus

Semi-submersible 300 m modules built from mass-produced polymer cells, carrying data centers next to Israel’s offshore gas.

Deck: ~58,000 m² per module
Next: tank tests of the cells

NL-02 · Surface treatment · Aerospaceactive

Laser-Selective Masking

Automated laser-selective photoresist masking for aluminum aerospace components before anodizing and coating.

Field: aerospace and defense manufacturing
Basis: AS9100D / Nadcap-oriented process

NL-03 · Biology · Neuroscienceresearch

Neural Substrate Simulation

A C/C++ simulation runtime for biologically grounded neural-substrate dynamics, developed as the ProtocolLogic research project.

Site: protocollogic.org
Type: independent research

NL-04 · Finance · Real estatemodel

Housing & Infrastructure Finance

Financial structures for closed-loop rental housing and offshore assets: SPV waterfalls, layered insurance, materials buyback.

Tool: materials-substitution optimizer
Stage: financial model

Move the data center to the gas, at sea

Israel’s grid has ~27 GW of data-center requests in the queue and a new 200 MW cap per site. The gas is offshore. A floating campus brings its own power, seawater cooling and fiber.

50-second overview. All figures are order-of-magnitude engineering estimates.

Module	hexagon, 300 m across
Data center	up to 200 MW IT
Mass, empty / in operation	~62,000 t / ~135,000 t
Motion, 100-year storm	~0.4 m heave, ~0.5° tilt
Building block	Ø3 × 6 m polyethylene cells with closed-cell foam
Cost of offshore area	$3–5k per m², against $11–24k for steel

Approach

How we work

Physics first

Every concept starts as a model with real units: loads, periods, flows and costs.

Test early, spend late

The cheapest experiment that answers the biggest unknown comes before any large investment.

Say what is proven

We label each figure as measured, modeled or estimated, so partners know what they are buying into.
