PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain high pressure high purity gaseous hydrogen and oxygen by replenishing a pure water in a pure water vessel provided with a hydrogen/ oxygen generator through a replenishing water tank from a pure water tank by the difference of altitude. SOLUTION: The hydrogen/oxygen generator 1 provided with a solid high molecular electrolyte film or the like is arranged in the pure water vessel 3 and gaseous hydrogen and oxygen are produced by electrolyzing the pure water. The replenishing water tank 14 is arranged at a higher position than that of the pure water vessel 3 and the pure water is replenished through a replenishing water passage 13 by utilizing the difference of the altitude while equalizing the pressure through a communicating passage 22. Further, the pure water tank 21 is arranged at the higher position than that of the replenishing tank 14 and the pure water is supplied to the replenishing water tank 14 through a pure water supply passage 20 from a water feed tank 21 in the state that a gas vent passage 15 is opened.
