The pilot stated that during an autorotation demonstration, the helicopter exhibited a complete loss of engine power. The pilot had set up the demonstration about 1,500 ft above ground level and about 60 knots indicated airspeed with hard packed gravel chosen for the touchdown point. The pilot stated that the engine rpm went to zero as soon as he rolled off the throttle to start the autorotation.
