     2. (Mil.) a mechanism in a bomb, torpedo, rocket, or
        artillery shell, usually having an easily detonated
        explosive charge and activated by the shock of impact,
        which detonates the main explosive charge. Some fuses may
        have timing mechanisms, delaying the explosion for a short
        time, or up to several days after impact. Fuses activated
        by other mechanisms more sophisticated than impact, such
        as proximity or heat, are used in modern weapons such as
        antiaircraft or antimissile missiles.

  Fuse \Fuse\, or Fuze \Fuze\, n. (Elec.)
     A wire, bar, or strip of fusible metal inserted for safety in
     an electric circuit. When the current increases beyond a

     circuit and thereby preventing possibility of damage. It
     serves the same function as a circuit breaker.
