The Voltage Zoo
In production. Two formats: futurism documentaries and chapter-by-chapter stories.A science-fiction suspense channel set in a biopunk future, built on a fact bank of the real bioelectricity literature so every scare has a receipt.
What it does, step by step
- A fact bank firstSeven hundred and fifty-nine cited facts, four hundred and fifty-nine with a PubMed id that resolves, tagged on the claim ladder. Nothing is written from memory.
- Two formatsA documentary may sensationalise a real result and never be built on an invented one; a story may invent anything, but the biology on screen does what a real organism does.
- The receipt in the commentThe video entertains; the pinned comment carries the species, the year, the real size of the result and the PMID.
How it is built
A content pipeline: a grounding document that outranks every summary, a fact bank as a tab-separated table, prompts per format, image stills from one model at one quality tier, and a scheduler shared with three other channels.
- Python pipeline
- gpt-image-2.5 via fal for stills
- a shared YouTube scheduling library
- NCBI verification scripts
- Facts outlive doctrines: the channel changed format three times in five days and every time the fact bank was the thing worth keeping.
- The word for the science is never said on camera; what it does is shown instead.
