    Wind powered swamp cooler. Basically a humidifier, but it does lower the temperature. I’ve heard people call swamp coolers air conditioning, so I don’t think it’s wrong.

      No, calling swamp coolers air conditioning is definitely wrong.

      If it’s 100% humidity in your room, the swamp cooler is going to do absolutely nothing, but AC will cool it down and can even dehumidify a bit if you run it enough.

      Swamp coolers are awesome, but they only work in dry climates unfortunately.
