3. That's why I'm thinking more along the lines of a car radiator with a fan mounted to it and sucking cold air through the fins. This will certainly actively pull a lot more heat, and won't be an expensive proposition. If I find the right fan it would be pretty quiet, and I think I could even set up a thermal switch and have it run only when water temps exceed a given differential.

Do you mean like this?
Im very interested in using something like this to cool a tent. I have access to external so i could leave a can of water outside where it gets cold for most of the year!.
Do you think a fan on a scrap car radiator would do the trick? Im not sure what temperatur delta would be needed for the water/ambient air temp in tent to be useful. And if the trash can would over heat or if the can would never get warm due to the radiator not dissapating enough heat to water.
