Wow i just won my 8th grade science fair with this very subject here is some info i still have saved to my computer.
Maglev, or Magnetic levitation, is a system of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number of magnets for lift and propulsion. This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transit systems. The power needed for levitation is usually not a particularly large percentage of the overall consumption; most of the power used is needed to overcome air drag, as with any other high speed train.

Who invented the steam locomotive (1830)?
Credit for the first fully functional steam locomotive goes to Richard Trevithick in the UK - although some prototypes had been built by prior inventors such as William Murdoch and John Fitch but there were not really workable due to limitations on the pressure that could be contained in their boilers. Richard Trevithick made the necessary breakthrough in designing and building an effective high-pressure boiler that could be used to power a locomotive. The first full-scale working railway steam locomotive, called the 'Puffing Devil,' was built by Richard Trevithick. In the USA the B&O Railroad's Tom Thumb, which went into service in 1830, was designed and built by Peter Cooper and was the first US-built locomotive to run in America, although it was intended as a demonstration of the potential of steam traction, rather than as a revenue-earning locomotive.
Who was the inventor of the locomotive?
The earliest steam locomotive was built in 1804 by Richard Trevithick and Andrew Vivan.
Where was the first locomotive was built?
England in 1804.
What is in a locomotive?
A prime mover (engine, produces power), an alternator (converts rotational movement to electrical energy), and traction motors (converts electrical energy to move the locomotive).
