Cane Pole, where did you get the fans, what brand, and whats the amp draw? I need one of those for sure !!
Very good idea! You should be talking to my brother in law. You could help him with his idea that's in the makings for a patent. I'd tell you but Id be shot before sunrise. Keep the brain working

Local computer shop gave them to me. They are just old style computer cabinet cooling fans with the guards. I removed the fans and the "finger protector" grills from old computer cabinets.. You can get the fans and grills on Ebay and Amazon. They are not expensive. I believe these fans are 120 x 120 mm which is standard. The fans are brushless and don't draw a lot of current.

The current setup is different than the one we used last week. I just recently added the cooling coil. I believe we ran about 2 hours and still had ice left. Really didn't check this.
Along with the Swamp cooler, we had two 5 inch 12v dash fan blowing on us. The dash fans helped push the cooler air back to us. The dash fans draw less than an amp each.
I got more testing to do. I recently had back surgery, so I am on hover at present.
You can check out swamp coolers on You Tube. Lots to look at. How effective is to be determined.
None are quite like mine with the vinyl cooling coil.
