To enable energy of ultra-high-pressure fuel, which is compressed and stored in a fuel tank before being supplied to an engine or a fuel cell, to be recovered and recycled when the fuel is supplied to the engine or the fuel cell.SOLUTION: A fuel supply device 6, which supplies fuel containing hydrogen to an engine 100 or a fuel cell generating output by consuming the fuel, comprises: a fuel tank 61 which stores the fuel; fuel piping 62 which allows the fuel discharged from the fuel tank 61 to be distributed to the engine 100 or the fuel cell; and conversion mechanisms 63 and 64 which extract energy of the fuel before being decompressed while reducing pressure of the fuel flowing in the fuel piping 62.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】燃料タンクに圧縮して蓄えられ、原動機や燃料電池に供給される前の超高圧の燃料が持っているエネルギを、原動機や燃料電池に供給する際に回収して再利用できるようにする。【解決手段】水素を含む燃料を消費して出力を発生させる原動機１００または燃料電池に燃料を供給する装置６であって、燃料を蓄える燃料タンク６１と、前記燃料タンク６１から吐出され原動機１００または燃料電池に向かう燃料を流通させる燃料配管６２と、前記燃料配管６２を流れる燃料の圧力を低減しながら減圧前の燃料が持っていたエネルギを取り出す変換機構６３、６４とを備える燃料供給装置６を構成した。【選択図】図１
