Fuze (explosives)

Okay kiddo, let me explain. A fuze is a tiny part of an explosive that helps it to explode at the right time. Imagine you are building a sandcastle at the beach and you want to make it really cool by using a firecracker to make it explode. But the firecracker will explode right away, so you need something that will help you set a "timer" so that the firecracker will only explode when you want it to. That's where the fuze comes in. A fuze is like a little string or wire that you light up, and then it burns slowly until it reaches the explosive material. Once it reaches the explosive material, it sets it off and causes the explosion. So, in short, a fuze helps make an explosion happen at a specific time, like a cool trick to make your sandcastle go "BOOM" but it's very important to remember that explosives can be very dangerous and should only ever be handled by trained professionals.
