This detonator is usually a plain square box with a plunger on top and wires attached. Although a DeadHorseTrope in RealLife, it is ubiquitous in classic WesternAnimation and frequently encountered in VideoGames and action stories set between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. In the real world these are actually called "blasting machines" because the plunger spins a little magneto similar to an old-fashioned hand-crank phone to generate the electricity used to detonate the explosives.
