This relies on inertia so probably not.

Inductance is similar to inertia in the water model of electricity.

Yes, but it's not directional. You don't get to make a T-joint of three coils and have the current follow the top bar as it's a straight line.

Diodes don't work based on inductance.

Diodes would be something along the lines of a check valve.
