The How Stuff Works site has quite a bit of information complete with
drawings, animations and diagrams.

How IMAX Works
http://stuffo.howstuffworks.com/imax.htm

The article above has lots of internal links that lead to details on
particular parts of the technology, such as sound and film types. Of
particular interest might be the articles on projectors (of which IMAX
is the giant version) and screens.
How Movie Projectors Work

How Movie Screens Work
http://stuffo.howstuffworks.com/movie-screen.htm

This site takes a more technical approach, including photos of the mechanism:

Additional Information
------------------------
IMAX - Wikipedia
http://www.free-definition.com/IMAX.html

There is a good photo of the projector here:

Search strategy
---------------
IMAX projector

Start with the first site I mentioned, How Stuff Works. There's a lot
of good information there with links to whatever particulars you want
to explore further. I hope you enjoy reading about IMAX, and that the
links I provided get you the information you need!

You might want to look at IMAX's website too.

http://www.imax.com/ImaxWeb/imaxExperience.do?param_section=thecnoImaxIntro&param_subMenuSelect=thecnoImaxSelect&param_subLeftSelect=thecnoImaxIntroSelect

If you have trouble with the above link, go to the home page.  Click
on "The IMAX Experience" and then "The Technology of IMAX" or "How
IMAX Works"

Additional note:
There is a difference between IMAX and IMAX®Dome (OMNIMAX), although
they are all now commonly called IMAX.  IMAX is on a "flat" screen
while the other (obviously) is on a dome.
