Abstract

There were designed and successfully tested at Fermilab several high temperature superconducting (HTS) model magnets for particle accelerators. Some of them worked in a persistent current mode continuously generating magnetic field in the iron dominated magnet gap. In the paper was investigated a novel HT dipole magnet concept with a mechanical energy transfer in the magnetic field. To pump the energy in the superconducting HTS dipole magnet used a detachable magnetizer. The HTS dipole magnet was build and successfully tested at a liquid nitrogen temperature. Discussed the magnet design, test results, the proposed approach limits, and efficiency.
