A hydrokinetic turbine 100 comprising an endless rotatable belt on which are pivotally mounted a plurality of liquid flow catching members 401. The liquid flow catching members are pivotable between an idle position 401a where the liquid flow catching member 401a is substantially flat against the surface of the endless belt and a working configuration 401e where the liquid catching member 401e is at an angle to the surface of the endless belt of between 85 and 120 degrees. Optionally each flow catching member 401 has a restraining member 429 to limit the working angle. Preferably the endless belt may be a plastic modular belt. A pair of floats (350, Figure 6) may be used to mount the turbine. The restraining member may be a piston type member (Figure 9) of a chain and spring device (Figure 10).
