The needle on his voltmeter jerked sideways, registering a sharp drop in voltage on the crystal's surface — evidence of a microscopic electric field that might arrange and orient molecules on the ice's surface.

All three neurons are designed to act like real neurons, using the «leaky integrate and fire» model in which stimulus pushes the voltage inside the neuron higher and higher until the neuron fires and the voltage drops back down to its original voltage.

When the frightened creatures froze in place and covered the cavity leading to the gills with their tentacles, the voltage in the water nearby dropped by about 80 %, the researchers report online today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Specifically, if I have a lot of OEM accessories in my 2008 Jetta 2.5 L SE, that are all turned on (e.g., heated seats, AC, defroster etc), or, if it's really hot and humid outside, and I have AC running at full speed, and the engine sensor is so hot that it turns on the engine cooling fans at full speed, too, and voltage immediately drops and stays below 13.2 V (e.g., below 2.2 V * 6), but is still above 12V, is there a problem with the alternator / voltage - regulator (mine's a combined part), or is that by design?

The best probable explanation I can come up with is that the «false start» you described caused a drop or spike in voltage (or even removed voltage from the supply line, depending on what you did with the ignition key) right at the point that the airbag controller was powering up and performing its self - diagnostic.

This could be an early sign of a failing component but in your case it may also be due to the voltage drop that happens normally during a start.
