A reburnable fuse is a very rare type of fuse whose output is identical to its input, possibly with some spatial and/or temporal offset. Reburnable fuses are used primarily in the construction of fixed-speed self-supporting macro-spaceships, where the speed of the fuse's burning reaction becomes the speed of the spaceship. Examples include caterpillar, centipede, and waterbear.

In other rules
In Grounded Life, there is a simple reburnable fuse based on blocks and a beehive, which evolves into a line-of-six spark. It is the basis of most technology in that rule, and there is a rich and growing toolkit to control it.
