i don't know if i'd use it to make charge pipes, but it might be good for oil pan bungs or something like that.

looks exactly like brazing. pretty cool but it looks like the heat mearly melts the rod and there is no actual penetration. i wouldn't trust it in any place that would see stresses.

someone should try it out!

You're right, there is zero penetration. It's good for fixing holes and leaks, but I don't know what else it'd be good for.
