Abstract
A fluid supply apparatus that can eliminate the need for a power supply source, and store fluid efficiently. The apparatus may comprise a first balloon that is formed of an elastic body to be capable of storing the fluid, a second balloon that is formed of an elastic body to be capable of storing the fluid, and has a larger contraction force than a contraction force of the first balloon, a support member that supports both of the first balloon and the second balloon, and a casing that houses the first balloon and the second balloon, and defines inflation ranges of the first balloon and the second balloon, in which the support member has a flow path formed to permit fluid communication between an interior of the first balloon and an interior of the second balloon.
