Omniwheels - how?

Now that FIRST season is over (at least for us), it's the time to look into fun side projects. I started looking into building something (in my case, a motorzied chair on wheels), and I'm thinking about using omniwheels. And then I realized, I have no idea how they work. I know that the system invloves a wheel, with another set of wheels on it instead of a thread (or something like that), but how exactly does it work? I couldn't find any good explanation here via search, nor could I find any in google.
Thanks,
Sumadin
