         9 . The evaporative air cooling tower of  claim 1 , further comprising a fourth hose disposed within the housing, wherein the fourth hose includes a first end positioned in a filter structure of the evaporative air cooling tower, and wherein the filter structure is disposed below the hose connector, and wherein the fourth hose includes a second end connected to the hose connector, and the fourth hose is configured for liquid to drip or flow down from the hose connector to the filter structure. 
     
     
         10 . An evaporative air cooling tower comprising:
 a housing;   a fan at least partially disposed within the housing; and   at least two mister assemblies disposed within the housing, wherein the at least two mister assemblies are connected in series along approximately a longitudinal axis of the housing.   
     
     
         11 . The evaporative air cooling tower of  claim 10 , further comprising a drawer at least partially disposed within the housing, wherein the drawer includes a liquid tank configured for storing liquid and receiving an ice pack and a pump therein. 
     
     
         12 . The evaporative air cooling tower of  claim 11 , further comprising a hose connector positioned adjacent to a top portion of the housing. 
     
     
         13 . The evaporative air cooling tower of  claim 12 , further comprising a first hose disposed within the housing, wherein the first hose includes a first end connected to the pump and a second end connected to the hose connector, such that the pump is configured to pump the liquid stored in the liquid tank to the hose connector through the first hose. 
     
     
         14 . The evaporative air cooling tower of  claim 13 , wherein the at least two mister assemblies include a first mister assembly, wherein the first mister assembly further includes:
 a first mister configured to dispense mist; and   a first mister tank in fluid communication with the first mister and configured to receive liquid from the hose connector and supply liquid to the first mister for dispensing the mist.   
     
     
         15 .
