How to make a mist fan for greenhouse?

I know I've discussed this before, but how can I improvise a cooling mist fan for my greenhouse? I would use a livestock fan for starters.
Someone on some forum evrmen offered to explain more in detail , but with last years cold and gray season I did not do it.
I've looked through old posts of mine and on different boards,,but no luck.
So, if the someone is out there who has done this, I would be so appreciative if you would share directions. Thanks .

Could it be something simple like installing [url=https://www.dripworks.com/category/misters]Misters[/url] in front of the fan.

:? Is that a yes. Maybe I don't understand the question.

Google images.
Looks like a fan with one or two nozzle mounted to the front.

If you want it to be self-contained, a water tank and pump would be required.

No, you didn't miss anything. I just enjoyed your answer.

Thanks for website. I've looked at commercial ones and they range from $850 on up way past $1000. Really didn't want to do that!
Looks like if the season keeps going this way , keeping plants cool will be a challenge.
