Time fuse is a term used to describe a specific type of fuse that operates on a timed delay before detonation. This type of fuse is commonly used in explosives, fireworks, and other controlled detonations. However, there are several other words and phrases that can be used instead of time fuse when referring to a similar device. These include delay fuse, time delay detonator, time delay fuse, time bomb, and timer. Each of these terms can be used interchangeably to refer to a timing device used in explosives and controlled detonations. Regardless of the terminology used, caution should always be exercised when handling and detonating explosive devices.
