Water evaporation can enhance the cooling effect of fans. Some use wet cloths etc but this is a more practical solution

Latent heat of vaporisation can enhance the cooling effect of  fans used in hot weather.  When air blows over water, water molecules extract energy from the air thus cooling it.  Wetting your arm and blowing over it has an instant cooling effect try it out yourself.   Any enhanced cooling effect   is particularly useful considering the current heat waves with temperatures approaching 40 C in the UK and elsewhere.   Wet cloths are sometimes used  but less practical.   A better solution I came up with is a standard drinks can in a holder with a wick placed in the airflow.  This model is easy to make and is calmped onto my pedastal fan using tie wraps.  A wick was made using a good quality paper kitchen towel wrapped around a barbecue bamboo skewer.  Printed at a slight angle for pin strength on a Bamboo P1S in PLA.
