This would also be more cost effective than buying multiple copies of the wireless chargers that are already on the market. The proposed design would be able to charge up to six devices simultaneously via a coil array and detection circuit. The design takes into consideration the dimensions of the current smart devices and moves to accommodate such devices. This device would also be cost effective so that acquiring would not be an issue, be it businesses, universities, or public spaces that take an interest. The designed wireless charging station cost approximately
