1. A heat pump system comprising:
a first circuit, including a first refrigerant, configured to cycle a non-mechanical liquid to high critical vapor fluid phase in a closed circuit from an evaporator to an outlet of a liquid pump; and
a second circuit including a second refrigerant, wherein:
the second circuit is configured to extract thermal energy from the first circuit to produce a heated fluid and a cooled fluid,
the first circuit and the second circuit are configured in a mechanical relationship for transferring energy from the first circuit to the second circuit via a phase change of the first refrigerant through a dual-chambered heat pump,
the first circuit includes the non-mechanical liquid phase to high critical vapor fluid phase cycle,
the second circuit includes one or more vapor pumps,
the one or more vapor pumps includes a linear motion piston pump,
the one or more vapor pumps includes a discharge having about 325 psi and about 170° F.,
the linear motion piston pump includes an integrated alternating pole DC piston motor having a piston and a stator,
the piston includes neodymium magnets disposed thereon, and
the stator includes copper windings embedded in a Teflon sleeve disposed in a chamber wall of the integrated alternating pole DC piston motor to produce electricity as parallel work to vapor compression performed by the linear motion piston pump.
