There are several types. The easiest is a styrofoam cooler and a bunch of ice. You cut two holes in the top. One to fit a battery powered fan and the other to fit a PVC pipe with an elbow. The fan blows on the ice and it escapes from the pipe and provide cool air. I saw one made with a bucket with holes along the top, an aquarium pump and tubing with a battery powered fan. You lined the bucket with some kind of material (I forgot) and put holes in the tubing....shoot I should just send the link! Duh!
