Firstly, it was designed mostly by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, a train company with no prior experience designing anything with tracks or armor up until this point. Maybe they should've stuck to running a railroad instead of inventing an entirely new tank.

No gun-equipped Covenanters remain except for one, as the British rightly saw the design as trash and a complete waste of time and money and either scrapped or shot up most of them as targets.

does a flying tank count as a useless and bad invention that never really worked out?

Colossal weapons fuckups by the UK are hardly rare. We spent over a billion on the AEW3 in the 1980s until we realised that it was an unsalvageable mess and cancelled the whole thing, and bought a tried and tested off-the-shelf AEW aircraft from the States instead, which we should have done from the very start.

Sufficed to say the fallout from his inventions are still being felt today.

My second choice would be Fritz Haber who was responsible for designing many of the chemical weapons used in the first world war used in the trenches. But in my opinion that wasn't the worst thing he did in his time. He also discovered the Haber-Bosch process which converted nitrogen and hydrogen into ammonia which could then be converted into fertilizer. That probably sounds good on the surface however with this process far more crops could be produced and such caused a huge population boom which then comes to the arguments made now about overpopulation. Another consequence of excessive fertilizer use was eutrophication which is the process which is destroying many rivers, lakes and other pools of water current life from plants to fish.

So all in all I think those two, at least from an environmental point of view, did the most damage in the long run.

More specifically the phone zombies they create. Although it hasn't been as much of an issue over the past year, since coronavirus has stopped people from going out as much, but I'm sure they will come back with a vengeance once some kind of normality returns.

Here's the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theranos
The question is, is it really a bad invention if it was never invented?
