That might work for awhile. Depends on how long the ice lasts. I like
the idea that it uses ice in a frozen milk bottle, so it doesn't flow
air directly over the ice, which would add to the humidity. You
should be able to find a fan that didn't draw too much current for
the generator to supply. 5-10 A should be okay if it's daytime and
you're not using the wipers or headlights. 10 A continuous might
overpower a cig lighter, however.
