This article may not meet the LifeWiki notability guidelines.

Please help to establish notability by adding external, independent sources about the topic. If notability cannot be established, the article is likely to be merged or deleted.

This article may require cleanup to meet LifeWiki's quality standards.

A block fuse is any fuse that burns through a Blockic constellation.

This list does not include trivial fuses where a spaceship deletes or modifies stationary objects, or engineered fuses consisting of parts that can be trivially rearranged to get different speeds. Spaceship-based fuses are known for c/2 orthogonal, c/3 orthogonal, c/6 orthogonal, and c/7 diagonal.

2c/3 bi-block fuse

Main article: bi-block fuse

This 2c/3 bi-block fuse is a clean fuse which consists of a single pre-beehive used to ignite one row of bi-blocks separated by 2-cell gaps.

4c/7 block fuse

This 4c/7 block fuse is a clean fuse which consists of a single pre-beehive used to ignite two rows of blocks separated by 3-cell gaps, similarly to the 2c/3 bi-block fuse.[1]

p36 c/2 block fuse

This fuse can ignite two rows of blocks spaced 3 cells apart, as in a pufferfish. Despite its common speed, it has an extremely high period. It is used in pufferfish spaceship.[2]

It consists of a Herschel crawling though blocks. An unnamed (34,7)c/156 caterpillar has been built using this fuse, and reactions[which?] that delete the beehives along with the excess blocks are known[citation needed]
