The damage inflicted to a plane by a bird strike. I don’t know if I’m the first one to think of this, but what if we put a big magnet on the nose of the plane so it creates a magnetic field that repels the birds away?
I’m not 100% sure, but I’d put good money on the fact that you were the first one to think of this.
Birds, famously not magnetic, would probably not be repelled by “a big magnet on the nose of the plane”. For this to work properly, you’d have to go around a glue a big (same polarity) magnet to each and every bird, as well as each and every plane. And even then, getting that system to work with a closing speed of around 1000kph would probably not be ever so effective.
But hey, keep coming up with the ideas and maybe one day, one of them will make some small degree of sense.
