Roland, interesting links. I'm not a big fan of the "logic" of using mics placed where your ears would be because I think the logic is deeply flawed. But I did like the the guy building all those stereo arrays work. Maybe in part because he isn't claiming any "accuracy" to real life just a better more spacious sound. I use an even less orthodox arrangement for stereo when I can (not very mobile) because it also gives a very wide field.
On his I was wondering if using the angle aluminum in a >-< arrangement wouldn't solve is upward directionality issue.
Another one in the right place is to use two PZM's (if you can find the old RadioShack ones made by Crown you can modify them for a much quieter output) spaced far apart on plate glass windows or other large flat surface. As I said only works in the right place, but you can get some really fantastic recordings.
On the pure weird side you can also make contact mics out of strips cut from Piezo buzzers. If you strap those onto things you can get sounds you don't normally hear.
