Abstract
A fuse for transfer of a detonation from an explosive charge to another or for initiating or igniting a detonation in an explosive charge. The fuse has the shape of a hose forming a channel having a thin layer of a reactive substance on its inner surface. In order to prevent any throttling of the channel a pyrotechnic charge is inserted into each end of the hose.
