Not complicated at all, just a heat pump and a source of relative modest heat that you can excite. Usually a really energy effective way of creating heat for your house or to make warm water. Over here the incoming heat usually comes from geothermal heat or ground heat but I like this concept. I wonder what the energy consumption for that burner in your picture is compared to a regular heat pump.
