Evaporative air coolers only need enough power to run the fan.

Sure but there wouldn’t be enough power, especially if you need things like AC.

Unless you live in a desert, or some other area where added humidity is a bonus then “swap coolers” are doing more harm than good.

That’s true. Humidity is a negative here in the summer, would like more in the winter.
How about pumping really cold water through radiators? Not as much cooling as AC, but with free cold water…

You’re thinking too small: water cool your apartment

The water can even directly drive the fan!
