Curious Idea. Using a projectile made of ice at high velocity to make precision welds. I don't know how they intend to accelerate the Ice Bullet. Sure would make installing the floor pans nice.

I've actuall been to the facilities at OSU. Sounds like a development from the Edison Welding institute.
Sounds like this is a variation on "stir welding" Check this link Stir Welding |

One piece is turns very fast (using a flywheel) and pressed hard against the other part. Friction heats up both parts and they weld themselves together. Dissimiliar metals can be welded this way. |
