I have the Endless Breeze, too. And like it as far as 12v box fans go. Maybe I should pair it with its own solar panel so it's not drawing down my house batteries.
Did find specs but did not find prices for the Snap-Fan at the company site. Looks like the 12-watt model of Snap-Fan would moves 1260-plus CFM at 15 watts vs. the Endless Breeze's 900 CFM at 35 watts, and so the Snap-Fan can get by with a much less expensive solar panel. Probably needs a panel rated at about 45 watts at 14 volts since it is going to be stationary mounted and will only produce peak wattage for about an hour or two a day, yet you're going to want the fan running at full force late into the afternoon if acting as blower in a swamp cooler. Interesting.

Ultra low power DC fans with real CFM. I personally own an Endless Breeze 12v RV/portable fan. It's pretty good but it's not like Snap Fan models. Three settings, some guy measured the power draw. low: 15 Watts or 1.25 amps @ 12 VDC medium: 27 Watts or 2.25 amps high: 35 Watts or close to 3 amps Endless Breeze custom mount and pics: http://www.andybaird.com/travels/gertie/fans.htm Now, somebody go out and buy a Snap Fan and do a *good* YouTube video of it in operation. Better than this lame one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNO_PWf23wk Then buy some and keep the company in business. Don't be cheap!
