To my understanding the miniature whale oil tank acts as a kind of battery that seems to power the loading mechanism of the wristbow. The battery appears to be attached to, or perhaps powering, a tiny rod - perhaps similar to the way a crankshaft would work, though I could be wrong.

At the end of the 'Dart Trolley' there seems to be a red tube (perhaps a power cord) that seems to activate the trolley and thus reloads the bolts quicker than if say it was done manually.

Also, there seems to be a lack of gears that one would associate with an overly mechanical device, suggesting that indeed a 'power source' of some type does most of the work.

This coupled with the in-game actions/motions of Daud's arm as he uses/fires the bolts again suggests something more battery-powered.
