We have a form of fluidic amplifier here in the Los Angeles area this time
of year. When the Santa Ana winds blow, they take one (sometimes two) of
three possible paths. As a result, if it's windy when I leave home in the
morning (in one of the paths), it won't be windy at work (in a different
path), and vice versa.
So it has the multistable behavior of the fluidic flipflops. I don't know if
if there's an (controllable) input signal, though.
