Rotors don't spin in 0 gravity. That's why autos were eliminated.
Hmmm - intertia would cause the rotor to spin, so gravity not required for that. If it was enough to maintain a full wind is another story, but rotors do spin in zero gravity....

In certain zero gravity situations, I'd bet they even do more winding than when gravity is present.
Hang on.. Are there any women on the ISS? perhaps the autos were being overwound 馃榿
That's not a bad point, if a rotational force were applied to it sufficient to get the rotor going around at speed, rather than gravity making the rotor settle eventually in one position, it would keep going, only limited by the drag of the bearings, much like the wobbling in the video above doesn't stop
