A system and method of atmospheric thermal energy conversion is disclosed utilizing pressurized inflatable rising conduit. The method includes the steps of: (a) providing warm or cold gas at a predetermined elevation; (b) transporting the gas vertically from the predetermined elevation to a different elevation through a thin-walled, inflatable, rising conduit, thereby providing gas within the conduit with a density which causes the gas to flow through the conduit; (c) converting the energy of the flowing gas by passing the gas through a transducer; (d) pressurizing the conduit from the inside with the transported gas to thereby inflate and support the thin-walled, inflatable, rising conduit.
