Actually, I don't really need a drawing, because the parts of this so far are just conceptual. So a sort of flow diagram will work. I had to put in all those periods to get the Yahooka editor to align thing correctly. Try this:
.................... ..<-----------tube---------------->
.
.................... .................... ......<-oven door->
.................... ..------------------+-------------+--
.outside air --> airflow sensor->ceramic oven-> happy camper
.................... ..-----------------------------------
.................... .. | battery compartment |
.................... .. ----------------------------
The airflow sensor would react to the suckage of the happy camper by connecting the ceramic oven to the battery, and as soon as suckage stopped the ceramic oven would be turned off. The idea of a spring-loaded two-piece oven would be so that as the material was roasted on the outside, the spring would mash the oven halves down onto the unroasted parts. Experimentation would have to be done, though, as perhaps the pressure would be unnecessary and the oven would roast the bud all the way through.
This would accomplish several things that I see as shortcomings of other pipes. If you have to shred the pot, as in many vaporizers, right there you are losing a big chunk of THC to the air as the vessicles are broken. Vaporizers that fill a space, such as a bag, before being smoked lose THC to molecules grabbing onto the surface of the bag; THC is very reactive, which is why we smoke it. Ideally, you want to rapidly heat the unbroken bud to the point that the THC is converted into a gas, but at less than the heat at which it is destroyed, and to stop the conversion as soon as inhaling stops. You then want it to go into your lungs immediately by the shortest route - any kind of air-storage is going to reduce the gas quickly as it is deposited on any surface it strikes. This idea seems pretty good to me, at least conceptually.
