High Flow valves - how do they work?

How does a high-flow valve work?

I understand that they allow more gas to flow but i am curious to know how they do it.

Im talking about the high flow valves that go in to magazines, not the floating valve type.

 

Is it just a weaker spring (easier to push in)? or is it more about shape?

 

The reason I want to know is just curiousity, I feel much more comfortable and confident with machines when i know exactly how they work.

 

cheers

It's about the size of the gas ports on the valve and the diameter of the inlet piston.
