New aircraft like the A380 are using electrical back up modules using the force of 5000psi hydraulic pressure still available from windmilling engines to power certain avionic systems and stand alone electro hydraulic actuators.

Due to the delivery pressure the components can still be quite small. Not sure on the output on these generators, quite small i guess but the technology is in place to be developed.
