Had a ideer for a A/C system
Not effective. What WOULD work, but might be impractical to implement would be an "evaporative cooler"
Google "evaporative cooling tower"
These work sort of like a swamp cooler, more correctly, "evaporative cooler"
How an evaporative cooler works, BEST in hot DRY climates, one like this:
This one is handily opened up for service. The bottom is a tank, just like a toilet, has a float valve from the water plumbing which keeps the tank full. It has a small pump, which pumps water up to nozzles on the three sides holding the media panels, which are removed
The media panels have a "V" trough at the top, with holes ever inch or so in the bottom, the pump throws water in the troughs, the water dribbles down through the media, and the blower pulls are through the media, causing "evaporative cooling."
THE DIFFERENCE between this and an EVAPORATIVE WATER TOWER is that a water tower simply pulls air through the media AND COOLS THE WATER which flows back to the tank.
THIS WATER, now cold, is then fed to an off-site HEAD EXCHANGER (such as a liquid to refrigerant condenser for a refrigeration unit) and is used in that exchanger
IN THIS CASE would be your heater core.
So your problem will be
1 Building an evaporative cooling tower which can "fit into" the cars styling,
2 operate while going down the road at 50, 70, 80, 145 mph without throwing excessive water all over the car, the windshield, etc etc
3 incorporate a tank (in the trunk?) to keep the cooling tower replenished
4 and the simple part, after all that, circulate the water through your heater core.
Makes a real AC system look pretty good, no?
Cooling tower:
Some of these are huge You can SEE how this one works. See the blue arrows on the piping, the return water (carries the heat absorbed from the load/ condenser) is pumped to the top of the unit where it is atomized and sprayed down in the cavity of the beast in droplets.
The fan (at the top) sucks air in through the grated windows at the bottom pulls the air up through the water droplets, causing evaporative cooling.
The heat and evaporated water is ejected out the top, and under the right conditions forms what amounts to a rain cloud above the unit.
The cooled water is then pulled from the tank below (CWS means Cold Water Supply) and fed back to the load
Like all cooling towers, some mechanism must be in place to constantly replenish the water lost to evaporation
