High $\textit{T}$$_C$ Superconducting (HTS) flux pumps are capable of compensating the persistent current decay in HTS magnets without electrical contact. In this paper, following the work of an LTS self-switching flux pump, we propose a new HTS flux pump by directly driving high $\textit{T}$$_C$ superconductor into flux flow region in the $\textit{E-J}$ curve. The flux pump consists of a transformer which has a superconducting secondary winding shorted by an YBCO coated conductor bridge. A

The current always drives the bridge superconductor into flux flow region only at around its positive peak value, thus resulting in flux pumping. The proposed flux pump is much simpler than existing HTS flux pumps.
