A method for assembling a high temperature super-conducting rotor having a coil winding on a solid iron rotor core of a synchronous machine comprising the steps of:
- a. extending a tension bar through a conduit in said rotor core, wherein said conduit extends between opposite planer sections on long sides of the core;
- b. inserting a housing over a portion of the coil;
- c. attaching an end of the tension bar to the housing, and
- d. attaching rotor end shafts to opposite ends of the rotor core.
