Operation: How does a wastegate valve work?

On a machine with a turbine, the wastegate valve is essential to avoid breaking the turbine itself. In this video it is explained in a very simple and understandable way. This valve allows you to adjust how much air pressure to get to the turbo because obviously a turbine cannot withstand infinite pressures, so it is necessary to use this type of valve which is often integrated into the turbine body. The turbine allows more air to reach the engine which increases the power of the engine itself. Without this valve, however, you understand that too high pressures would be encountered both for the turbo and for the engine itself.
