where are the new methods to produce Ammonia? big ass pressure cookers are a 1970s tech i am in the future god damn it.
i want to feed corn syrup in one end and have it shit out ammonia on the other like how hydrogen peroxide is done today. termites producs incredible amounts of hydrogen da faq.redefining "beast of burden" should expose just how much imagination and creativity is missing from design today.

>>949238140>Cat urine is composed of approximately 95% water, along with urea, creatinine, uric acid, salts, and electrolytes, making it highly concentrated compared to other mammals. The characteristic pungent, long-lasting odor comes from feline-specific amino acids called felinine, which degrade into sulfur-containing compounds (3-mercapto-3-methylbutan-1-ol or MMB), along with urea breaking down into ammonia.
>>949238231Felinine is a unique sulfur-containing amino acid, specifically (R)-2-amino-3-(4-hydroxy-2-methylbutan-2-ylthio)propanoic acid ($C_8H_{17}NO_3S$), found in high concentrations in the urine of domestic cats and several other Felidae species. It functions as a precursor to a volatile sulfur compound that acts as a pheromone. • Source & Production: It is produced primarily in the kidney and excreted in urine, with intact males producing significantly higher levels (up to 95 mg/day) compared to females, often related to territorial marking. • Role and Function: Felinine is broken down into a volatile thiol, 3-mercapto-3-methylbutan-1-ol (MMB), which provides the distinct, pungent odor of tomcat urine. It is believed to function as a chemical signal or territorial marker. • Synthesis and Regulation: The synthesis of felinine is regulated by a protein called cauxin, a major component of cat urine that acts as a carboxylic esterase. • Dietary Impact: Research indicates that felinine synthesis in the body is linked to cysteine availability in the diet. • Other Species: Besides domestic cats, it is excreted by other species in the Felidae family, such as bobcats and kodkods
