again liquid gasoline never ever burns, never ever is ignited, as long as it stays liquid. It has to change to a vapor state is burn and gasoline is constantly giving off vapor even when freezing cold. All burning of gasoline in a cylinder, in a bucket, wherever is the burning of gasoline vapors. This is true of all flammable liquids, they all have to transition to a gaseous state to burn. So when it turns to a gaseous state is all that is different. Sounds like the Transonic method is just getting it close to gaseous so that it flashes to a gas and ignites from multiple areas of the combustion chamber rather than a central spark. The vapor carb idea is to get it completely gaseous before even entering the combustion chamber, again this is really easy with something designed to go gaseous at a lower temp like say Propane or natural gas. It would be harder with something like JP5 what the navy uses because it is much safer to store and take bomb hits without the whole ship going up. Gasoline has been specifically designed to pump and store liquid, and then flash to gas in the combustion chamber of a normal ICE.
