    The document describes a project by The Hot Quads to design mechanical and electrical accessories for a DJI Matrice 100 quadcopter to achieve unlimited hover time. They divided the project into three main components: a power transmission system using AC/DC conversion, a tensioning system to spool and unspool the tether evenly, and a linear actuator system to move the spool linearly.

    Tensioning System

    DJI sponsored The Hot Quads to design the


    mechanical and electrical accessories and interface
    needed to achieve unlimited hover time in a Matrice
    100 quadcopter. The HotQuads divided the project
    into three main components:
    1. Power Transmission System
    2. Tensioning System
    3. Linear Actuator System

    To decrease bulk, the HotQuads decided to


    use an AC/DC conversion.

    This system actuates the spool


    linearly. It ensures the even winding
    and unwinding of the tether.
