I live out in Tucson and we have "Evaporative coolers" or Swamp Coolers on our house. Evaporates water in a sponge and pulls air through it and into the house. Keeps the house 25-30 degrees cooler then outside (100F) but only when the humidity is below 15%. Once the outside humidity increases it doesn't work.
So when moding my car I pulled the whole AC out. Pulled the exchanger behind the glove box. Put a sponge from a swamp cooler in the container/ and ran a small hose and put a funnel on the dash. Now need cool air. I put a cup of water in my funnel and turn on the fan. Cool air.
