The Autostart
Automatic Start Technology for Stirling Engines
Effortless refinement for your Stirling stove fan experience.
The Autostart is a revolutionary accessory that eliminates the only manual step required when operating your Stirling engine fan. Historically, these fans have required a small flick to begin turning, but with the Autostart, that barrier is entirely removed. We believe this is a world first, bringing a new level of effortless refinement and providing true automatic start functionality.
The mechanism is simple, fully mechanical, and extremely reliable, utilising a bimetallic strip to initiate the Stirling engine. It is seamlessly compatible with all Steelhead and Glasshopper models, including older versions, ensuring everyone can upgrade.

Simple Installation & Fine-Tuning
Installation is remarkably simple: remove one bolt, insert the Autostart, and replace the bolt. The included comprehensive manual ensures proper setup. For optimal performance, your Stirling engine fan should be kept clean and well-maintained.
Many users find real satisfaction in experimenting with the adjustment bolt and discovering their ideal setting—whether you prefer an early start as the fire builds or a later start when the stove is radiating steady heat.
