I think ultimately it is just that they are working to turn the cylinder that moves the cog that elevates the resources upward and then they're hoping they get some overspill.

I do get that ultimately that is what the picture is coveying, and I agree with the message, but if the physics of it make me pause, it detracts from the message.
