I’ve used this low tech (off-grid) way of cooling a water bottle by wrapping in wet cloth and then tieing a string to the neck and swing it around and around my head to generate airflow. It does work.
The Coolgardie safe is a low-tech food storage unit for cooling and prolonging the life of whatever edibles were kept in it.

It wouldn’t take much effort to adopt such a system to my grow tent. and nutrient tank.
I need to build some kind of lightproof Venetian blind ventilation system and combine it with a fan to get the air moving inside the tent and activate the Coolgardie system.
