Hydraulic intensifiers can act as an analog of an electrical transformer. An intensifier is a hydraulic device where a large area piston is coupled to a small area piston. They are often used in water jet cutters to produce high pressures. A jet pump[0] is another device which acts sort of like a transformer and exchanges high pressure for high flow. 'Inertance' of the water in the pipe can act in a manner similar to inductors.
