Redneck Air conditioner
While I was deployed to Iraq in 2003, I dismantled a water fountain and took out the water cooling coils and compressor, as one. I then assembled them in a box so that I could have a fan blow through the coils and out through a corrugated hose our sleeping area. It worked well for about a week, and then the compressor gave out, and it was back to the heat.
It also works better if you keep the area to be cooled minimal (in sq ft) and partitioned from the rest of the building.
