ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for misting vehicle occupants. A golf cart or other open-air vehicle is equipped with an apparatus for providing a fine spray of water into the air inside and surrounding the vehicle, resulting in evaporative cooling for the occupants. A pumping system forces water from a water reservoir on-board the vehicle through mister nozzles. The pumping system uses a water filter, pump, and accumulator to achieve a steady spray. In the preferred embodiment, a pressure switch in the golf cart seat turns on the spray when an occupant is sitting in the cart, and stops misting when the occupant is not seated. Alternatively, the misters may be switched to spray continuously or turned off.
