PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermomagnetic cycle device capable of improving efficiency.SOLUTION: A container 21 configured to form a workspace 11 into which a magnetic working substance 12 is charged is configured such that its wall thickness becomes thinner from end parts 11E1, 11E2 toward a center part 11M in directions of reciprocative flows FM, FN of heat transport medium. Consequently, compared to in a case where the wall thickness of the container is made uniform in the direction of the reciprocative flows FM, FN, near the center part 11M in the directions of the reciprocative flows FM, FN, the magnetic work substance 12 and a magnetic circuit part 13A with magnets 34, 35 provided with a wall of the container 21 held therebetween can approach each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】効率を向上することが可能な熱磁気サイクル装置を提供すること。【解決手段】磁気作業物質１２が充填される作業室１１を形成する容器２１は、熱輸送媒体の往復流ＦＭ、ＦＮの方向における端部１１Ｅ１、１１Ｅ２から中央部１１Ｍへ向かうに従って、壁厚さが薄くなる構成である。これにより、容器の壁厚さを往復流ＦＭ、ＦＮ方向において均一とした場合よりも、往復流ＦＭ、ＦＮ方向における中央部１１Ｍ近傍では、容器２１の壁を挟んで設けられる磁気作業物質１２と磁石３４、３５を有する磁気回路部１３Ａとを近接させることができる。【選択図】図３
