Make one for pennies and few Oz vs 2.2# and $139.95.

I did a search for info about Luneberg Lenses - found plenty of
definitions/explanations/units for sale but nothing on DIY Luneberg, how
to make a ball with a radially varying refractive index or sources of
materials with suitable refractive index gradations.

If you make one out of foam core board and aluminium foil, be sure to keep
all the angles at 90 degrees. The overall shape can be whatever you want.
