According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for generating a gas. The apparatus includes a first reactant in liquid form and a second reactant capable of generating the gas upon being mixed with the first reactant. The apparatus further includes a feeding container for holding the first reactant, a reaction container for holding the second reactant and the gas generated from mixing the first reactant and the second reactant and an output regulator for releasing the gas from the reaction container to the surrounding. A feeding valve is configured to allow a flow of the first reactant from the feeding container into the reaction container when a feeding container valve pressure is greater than a reaction container valve pressure by a predetermined difference between the feeding container valve pressure and the reaction container valve pressure.
