OOI, have you ever seen or used a cooler box that works by the

I'm aware of cheap air-con units that use that principal and I've used
/ made my own impromptu ones for some milk or beer when camping but
I've never seen a commercial one. Not saying they don't exist ...

evaporative coolers are well known technology.

Yes, I know, but we are talking specifically about 'evaporative cooler
boxes' here. Have you ever had / seen one?

The amount of cooling is limited.

They also use it to cool the air near fountains and my mate had an
electric fan that sprayed a mist of water into the air in front of it
and that worked ok.
