Block fuse: Difference between revisions
Haycat2009's removal of the link alias created a capital-letter typo. Fixed that. Also removed the "citation needed", since this wording is copied verbatim from the main article, where that information is available in footnotes. Any clarification needs to happen there, not here -- if every stub section in collection articles like this one gradually grows into a full referenced article, that won't work out too well.. |
m mention that the last two fuses are in the rare category of reburnable fuses |

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.
Known block fuses
Orthogonal
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]

Before that, Ivan Fomichev found a dirtier p36 c/2 fuse.[2]

December 29th, 2014, Nico Brown found additional pufferfish spaceship variants and p36 c/2 block fuse variants.[3]

3c/10 block fuse
This 3c/10 orthogonal block fuse consists of a single pi-heptomino used to ignite two rows of blocks separated by 7-cell gaps. It is used in Pi ship 1.

Diagonal
Reburnable
(34,7)c/156 block fuse
- Main article: (34,7)c/156_Herschel_climber
| This reburnable fuse consists of a Herschel crawling though blocks. An unnamed (34,7)c/156 spaceship has been built using this fuse, and reactions that delete the beehives along with the excess blocks are known (see links in main article).

31c/240 block fuse
- Main article: 31c/240 Herschel-pair climber
This reburnable fuse consists of a Herschel crawling though blocks.
Three 31c/240 spaceships are known which use this fuse:
shield bug, centipede, and silverfish.
