A class of percolation models on ℤd is developed in which the stochastic structure is provided by means of a d-parameter dynamical system. Of particular interest are those models generated by circle rotations. Unlike for independent models, the critical value and the percolation function can be explicitly calculated. These calculations lead to a conjecture concerning the behaviour of a related dynamical system.
