I install an evaporative cooler AC unit to keep the shop cool this summer.

Swamp Cooler, Evaporative Cooler, Desert Cooler, and a few other names that these go by.

This is the cooler I use in the video: https://amzn.to/2qlDOo6
I really like the slim design and it really seams to beat the heat. As you probably already know evaporative coolers aren't for everywhere. They cool to right around 10F above your wetbulb temp(look it up on a weather app) which is entirely dependent on your humidity. The lower the humidity the better these work. The run for a fraction the price of a compressor AC system and double as a fan in my shop to clear fumes quickly.

For my Australian friends they sell this there as well: http://www.bonaire.com.au/products/bo...



As far as locations that can benefit from an Evaporative cooler, there are many. Here is a map https://www.sylvane.com/swampcooler...

Here is a chart as to what you can expect cooling wise depending on your humidity and outside temp
