It's a kind of air conditioner that uses evaporation rather than a compressor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp_cooler
They are much cheaper to run than AC. Tewntynine Palms? You're either an avid climber or in the military (or family is one or the other). Either way, good luck! God Bless!!

A swamp cooler is a type of air conditioner. We had one in Texas when i was a child. It had straw on each side and to keep it cool it needed to have water on the straw so there was water pumped to it. Sometimes we squirted it with the water hose to help it along.

A six pack, attached to a string, floating in the water I think.
