PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water generating reaction furnace, in which water generating reaction is efficiently and stably continued by keeping the internal temperature spatially uniform and eliminating the change of the temperature with time. SOLUTION: In the water generating reaction furnace 2 composed of a water generating reaction furnace body 3 for generating gaseous water from gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen and a heater equipment 60 accelerating the water generating reaction by heating the furnace body, the heater equipment 60 is constituted of a cylindrical body 56 arranged to surround the reaction furnace body 3 and a heater wire 58 buried inside the thick wall of the cylindrical body 56 to be closely contact. The inside of the cylindrical body 56 is set to a fixed temperature in this way. The cylindrical body 56 is provided with an inlet side cover body 62 and an outlet side cover body 64 to improve the temperature uniformity. The cylindrical body 56 is formed by combining two half- cylindrical bodies 56a and 56b to simplify the structure. The heater wire 58 and the cylindrical body 56 or the half-cylindrical bodies 56a and 56b are integrally formed by a squeeze casting process, and then, the degree of contact of the heater wire 58 with the cylindrical body 56 is improved.
