Conventional non-nuclear bombs contain chemical explosives, and a fuse/detonator mechanism. The fuse may be activated by the bomb hitting the target, or by altitude- reaching a pre-set height above the ground. The fuse sends an electrical current to the detonator, which contains a sensitive explosive. THAT explodes, causing the main charge of chemical explosives to explode.
