Different take on the swamp cooler idea. You get the cold air without the additional moisture in the air, may have to give it a try.

Its not called air cooling, its air -conditioning
An air conditioner is first and foremost a dehumidifier. If you live in a box under a bridge this would probably work pretty good thou.

Or a blow boat. As cool as it looks (no pun intended) it WILL add moisture to the air. I'd prefer dry air while sleeping.
