A few.

His mechanical explanation for electrical force turned out to be wrong. In fairness, the concept of a "field" had not been invented.

The original design for the Franklin Stove was a magnificent failure, mainly because Franklin did not have the proper understanding of heat. Instead of a being more efficient means of heating a room, it usually just filled the room with smoke. It was an improvement on chimneys, but later inventors made it practical.

His attempt to cook a turkey solely by electric shock failed.
