Submarines. Both sides had them, but only the South ever deployed one.
Gas filled observation balloons. Both sides deployed them.
Gatling Gun - The north had it and it was the forerunner to the modern machine gun.
Revolving Turret on ships. The North had it on the Monitor and installed very heavy cannon into it. This was the first time you didn't have to turn a ship to aim its guns.
Repeating Rifles - Mostly the North got them but not until half way through the Civil War because the War Department felt that this would make soldiers waster ammo. Lincoln ordered them in 1863.
