Inventions

InstaBook

As an inventor, Celorio obtained patents for the technology popularly known as InstaBook or Book On Demand, as well as that of distributed printing technology in which a digital file is distributed among as many printing centers as required for immediate production and delivery.
In the late eighties, Celorio created a digital network of print on demand centers around Mexico City, and in the nineties he founded InstaBook Corporation, a company to market the technology that became known as Print on Demand or Book on Demand.

Kinetic Lung

In 2019 he received a patent for a technology that uses kinetic energy to process massive amounts of urban air; to locate and separate the toxic particles known as PM2.5 and PM10 which have been found to be poison for every living being.
In 2018 he founded the nonprofit organization to deploy his technology in cities with contaminated urban air. After an initial test in 2017 in the city of León, in México, in June 2019 his foundation installed in Mexicali, Baja California, -the worst contaminated city in Mexico- the first network of Urban Lungs in the world. That network is composed of 300 Residential Lungs -hosted by volunteers at their homes-, and 10 Solar Lungs, hosted by 10 of the most prestigious universities and colleges of the city. Since June his organization self proclaimed this Urban Lung Network has been cleaning 3 million cubic meters of air each day, for a total of hundreds of millions of cubic meters of contaminated air to date and an effective reduction of a 35% in the amount of toxic particles PM2.5 and PM10 floating in the air of Mexicali at the end of October 2019, as was reported in a study presented to the California Air Resources Board by the head of the local nonprofit EconCiencia y Salud AC. The nonprofit Pulmon Urbano AC relied on independent and internationally well known companies such as PurpleAir and VisualAir, to show, in real time, the daily reduction of polluted air in Mexicali achieved by the Urban Lung Network.
