Have a search through the forum, theres a few of us made them with varying degrees of success. Jeff Wagner makes reliable and beautiful examples and mine barely work if I give myself a hernia in my efforts. There should be a load of info on google about them as well as it is an old and reliable principle - its just that getting your first one to work can take quite a bit of work and frustration.

Good luck
